Sign of the (economic) times

Toshiba has just released a set of vision products for the consumer that wants to 'upscale' to higher definition products, but who doesn't want (or cannot afford) the costly outlay of actual HD technologies and services. To promote these devices, Toshiba has just spent £3m on an ad campaign, that includes the 'timesculpture' ad below, made by the ad agency Grey London (the company the created the technique, and what was used extensively in the 'Matrix' films).

What now for 'brand America'? What it represents, the meanings people give to it, its culture, its society, its role in the world, how non-Americans view Americans, and how Americans view themselves. It isn't as though every American has the same view and goals (unlike some organisations, or rather how organisations should be). America is incredibly divided - just view some of its 'press releases' (e.g. on YouTube).
