Here I thought that too - but then at the start of the ad the first thing that happens is a blue sun rises over the hills. I'm guessing that means they *are* a Blue Sun product?

Blue Sun: There's No Escape. Makes me think of the whole "We're Beatrice" thing some years ago.

Many thanks to Anusien for uploading the rip.

Obsessing about a single instant in the obsession. Why hasn't this bloody commercial been in one of those conspiracy theory threads, I ask you....maybe we've all been programmed with an obsessive fan subliminal Joss had Zoic sneak in there.
No, this must be what going insane feels like.

Gaak, it's stuck in my head again. I watched it on slow mo' a few times before answering, and Sam I don't see a blue sun. There's a sort of wine colored expanding circle near the beginning, when the background photo shifts from the cartoon fruit trees to something that looks (to me) like palm trees in a hurricane, then the background switches to power station stacks, then to something that looks like a version of the optometrist's photo of your retina

then River goes off into nightmare space where the reavers are...but I never saw a BlueSun.
BlueSun is like Beatrice Foods, isn't it. I remember reading about them. They had a 'go to sleep and trust us' vibe to their commercials then. Mwah haa ha. It was spooky how much they owned, and that concept of the mega-nested-corp hasn't exactly gone away. Ok, Ok, no more conspiracy theories, I promise.

Shiny Trees! Yavanna made Shiny Trees!

It doesn't show up in the movie, but if you watch the easter-egg "making of" and the whole commercial it's there. Here's a grab:

I did it! It's on my phone now. And I got woken up to it in the middle of the night too, made me have a really trippy dream for the 3 seconds before I woke up!

This page should take care of that:

Working to help all blouse-wearers bust out of 'em "or my friends will think I'm a stupid, inbred stack of meat."



Yeah... I was wondering about that, and what kind of copyrights/trademarks apply there. CafePress is not all that particular about who posts what there. Anybody know if this person is legit in doing this?

And yes, this is my first post here.

Ha! I didn't know it was English either! (I figured out the "fruity oaty bar" part only after reading on one of the boards



They were singing in English?????? Wow, how'd I miss that...

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.

I must confess, I too am subject to singing that tune all day long.

Does anyone have an html code for me to post it on my firefly pimped out myspace?
