Just posted on YouTube - be the first on your block to comment! Bonus points if it gets into an angry argument within six comments over Trump AND bicycles not stopping at red lights. It's Sprite's attempt to capitalize on the sudden national craze for interminable abstract animation intended to represent the passage to the other side of the cosmos where you grow old in a bright room and die, then reappear as an enormous baby floating over the earth.

I mean, people who hadn't seen "2001" would have no context for this at all.
