Verrrrry purrrrceptive, O Techenheimer! I see you are indeed sensitive to the role of art in guiding the masses to the path of correctness.
The Stage
I totally agree, the earth colors and outdoor settings have to go, and the scene must be replaced by the clean angular esthetic of the modern office. No wood paneling, stuffed chairs and plush carpets, either, we live in a post-industrial service economy; what we seek is the cool serenity of the modern corporate workspace: all grays and blues, whites and blacks. Bare, clean interiors accented by the occasional desktop report or Spartan office electronics. Through the vast windows a massive cityscape is glimpsed where this drama, by implication, is carried out. A no-nonsense, take-charge environment for the truly creative, the real toilers, the ones that really matter
The Players
As for the cast, please, no sweaty third world types scurrying about in deadly traffic delivering our Ipods and memory upgrades. We want slim and fit thirtysomethings, impeccably dressed and coiffed in the severe yet elegant fashion of our executive movers and shakers. But give them a touch of humanity, too, rolled-up sleeves and loosened neckties, as they toil ceaselessly bringing entrepreneurial excellence and icy efficiency to their tasks. They huddle over memos, point at monitors, and gracefully lean over desks, the deft drapery of their suits hinting at flat bellies, tight buttocks, a graceful calf, perhaps a hint of thigh. Abstraction in graphic style hides their age and their race, but not their gender and their attractiveness, or their sex. These are the alpha players, the virile and the fertile. These are people who make a difference, people who count.
The Drama
The play's the thing, art in the service of psychology yielding education to smooth the wheels of commerce. In this corporate temple, this entrepreneurial cathedral, the true illuminati of our age direct and guide us all to prosperity and enlightenment. They embody the virtues and grace of their class, fiercely independent and competitive, yet seamlessly working together and cooperating for our benefit, and for us alone. There is no contradiction here, no conflict, and certainly nothing unexpected--just creativity, innovation, precision and excellence.
And it wouldn't hurt if we could somehow work the letters S-E-X subliminally into the graphic design either.

Actually, I see it more as a lame Diego Rivera mural.
