Much of the TV, video, film and sport we watch is sponsored by a brand, a product, a corporation. But ... why? With humor and persistence, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock dives into the hidden but influential world of brand marketing, on his quest to make a completely sponsored film about sponsorship. And yes, this talk was sponsored too. By whom and for how much? He'll tell you.

1. Worth watching! It's a little difficult to tell where he is going with all this until...

...nearer the end which is too bad because it might loose a few viewers midway through. I stuck with it, get what he's trying to do and think this could be an incredible movie/documentary. I just wish he had described exactly what kinds of topics the movie itself would cover up front, at least for those viewing the TED Talk.
