Brand Collabs (Travis Scott x McDonalds x Peppa Pig x Colgate x BAE Systems exclusive)

Cursed Objects sells out!! (Not really.) This week, Dan and Kasia investigate why every sinister corporation in the world has started obsessively pursuing 'brand collabs'? Why are we letting multi-billion dollar companies cannibalise the language and practices of creative work? Where is the line between art and commerce, and how do we unpick this stuff without sounding like tedious Bill Hicks-loving 14-year-olds? Also, why won't the corporate world leave rap music alone - and what do they get out of co-opting the "cool" of Black culture?
