MasterCard: The Official Card of the Second Great Depression
Comedy (Politics, Spoof), Viral (Time Capsule)
[ 1:00 - from YouTube ]

With its quick cuts between current photos and depression footage, plus the odd dancers, it manages to make a real comment...and when it gets to the phrase "priced-less" you are really listening and watching.
