Artistic Capitalism

I've never been a big fan of commercials. Our culture is saturated with them. However,the Zune arts campaign rides the thin line between art and advertising in a really interesting way.

Since it ultimately fosters creativity and animation, I decided to post a couple of my favorite ones.
