Out of all the Oscar shorts, this is the one I keep thinking about.  I was very uncomfortable with it, but I think that's part of the point.  Logos and corporate representatives are supposed to be clean, pro-society, a positive thing.  Here, they are portrayed perhaps a bit more as to how the corporations actually act-- McDonald's truly does murder people without regret.  Obviously, a lot of these logos are used for simple humor, but occasionally I think they are making more of a point with the animation.

I couldn't have said it better.

I guess I just thought this was really, really obvious.

It's my job to state the obvious.  Didn't you know that?
