Getting Philosophical With Dr.Pepper?

Has anyone seen this comercial?  Does anyone get the irony? 

It's such a revealing snap shot of human behavior.  We are incredibly ironic people.  It begins with people wanting to be different than the status quo.  Above the humdrum, they want to stand out, to be different. 
The irony is that end the end, they all look more alike than they ever did before.  If you don't read the detail of their shirts (which even the font makes it hard to differentiate), you have no idea why they are different. 

People do this all the time.  We like to make statements of being different and then group up with all the people who want to be the same kind of different till irony takes over and we look the same again. 

Think about it!  People don't want to be like the world when they become Christians so they all take on this other/culture "Christian" look and they all look the same.  The hippies hung with the hippies, the gender statement groups, even the goth kids in school hung with the goths! 

My point is, truly being one of a kind means that you can be with those you are like and without them.  To start a different group and all start to look and act the same is just another social security setting!  You are immediately no longer ONE OF A KIND!

Man, the irony is just so thick here!  People are such a study. 

What do you think?
