So I was walking by the television and I saw the tube-bound version of the commercial that follows the talking about God’s Love from Interstate Batteries and I notice that in the “gritty street scene”, prior to the expanding hearstream of God’s Love, there’s this sort of out of place OBEY sticker to the right of the fellow. It’s best visible at about 0:47 into the video above.
Evidence that the Holy Father himself and his agents upon Earth endorse Shepard Fairey’s message of… “buying Shepard Fairey stuff”, or evidence of a sneaky props from the guys who threw together the animation. Only the invisible superhero of your choice truly knows.

That’s creepy because you really could miss it, but it’s so clear when you pause it. What does it mean? Is it a blipvert inside a witnessing tool? Have the interstate batteries been duped by the beautiful losers? Or is artist’s rhetoric behind the militaristic “Obey” sticker so noncomittal that its found its proper home in “Obey the Lord. Buy More of Gods Love.”
On my computer it happens at around 47-48 seconds.
You’re right about the 47 seconds in bit.
The only thing I’m afraid of, really, really afraid of, is blipverts.
