Leaving political commentary or tirades about BP aside, I think one thing we can all agree on is that the oil spill in the gulf is something that will fundamentally change many aspects of our culture and the future direction of the country for some time to come. But my guess is for many people, grasping exactly how much so is a bit difficult unless you’ve seen it live. And personally while I’ve been reading everything I can, and have seen bits and pieces of the impact in stories, pictures, videos scattered across the web, this presentation is one of the most powerful collection of images I’ve encountered so far, and probably brought it home most for me.

No long winded wrap around back to brands or marketing, just something that is incredibly powerful and I thought was worth a minute out of all of our days to take in (and a good reminder of how the daily problems and issues we may face as an industry seem rather trivial when put into context with an event that affects us all as human beings on a shared planet).
