Description

A beauty pageant / talent competition video is shown, while text scrolls:

Why are we sitting and watching I Wanna Be the Galaxy's Best Supernova Diva Star?
Dutifully phoning in our votes for the next big thing while we wait on our couches to die.
Continue in this so-called democracy and you just may stop thinking for yourself.
That's when you are officially dead.
But you're not dead yet.

Even though the video portrays a pageant like Miss America, the text uses an example thats more similar to American Idol. The "so-called democracy" refers to the idea that on shows like that, a winner is chosen by the people.

As aired on television, the commercial includes the sound of a crowd cheering.
