This is definitely marketing satire, not parody.

Update:  It looks like the video has been removed from YouTube.  But I did locate it here:  http://tinyurl.com/5zjxx8  Lesson: The Internet is like plutonium.  It's forever.

Now that the tears have stop streaming and I've managed to climb back into my chair... Thanks for sharing this! We're in the process of developing a new commercial for our QandANJ.org service (old one at http://www.qandanj.org/mtv) so this video was both timely and frighteningly spot on. Hooboy! Wish us luck :-)

I'm so disappointed - YouTube says this video is no longer available... I was looking forward to sharing it with people working on a project together.

Here you go folks! I've scoured the Internet and found it for you. :)
