Cute advertising campaign. I wish it wasn't in Portuguese. Here's my favorite.

    Is that supposed to be Yoko Ono? Did you know that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excited and honored to be performing with her soon?

    I think the weird thing about this ad campaign is that some of these "ideas" are popularly understood to represent, like, actual ideas. Like Jesus or Socrates. Their narratives are defined by the fact that they were killed for their ideas. And then other ones are, like, the Titanic. And baby seals? I think Moby Dick is a particularly meta twist, though. Since the book is so heavily symbolic that the whale already represents ideas.
