I agree with all comments on pro-extropic commercials mentioned. I personally prefer the spots the Sci-Fi channel is running where the characters are saying they want this and that other thing or ability that are all extropic/transhuman concepts, though the Phillips Magnavox and the "I Am." commercials come a close second. Who says corporations don't benefit society? I think the memetic injections these commercials are putting into society are of enormous benefit.
