Rumin...

Huahaha... so difficult to find ads that emphasise on one's uniqueness. but i did an essay a while back on individualism and collectivism and this is what i found from the internet:

Nike has launched many new advertising commercials.The first is a commercial that shows a city and is based on the premise that adults never stopped playing tag.A man is tagged from behind and then the bustling city becomes deserted as everyone runs to hide.This man is now IT, and he can’t continue on with his day until he tags someone else IT.The second commercial is called “Shade Running”, and it follows a woman running through a city, but she can only run where she finds shade.The third commercial is called tailgating.This commercial follows two people, one man following close behind the other, tailgating him and invading his personal space; by bouncing a basketball as close to this individual without actually touching him.These three commercials are supposed to send out the message that there is “joy and simplicity to expressing one’s individualism through sport.Have a little fun…don’t limit yourself to narrow rules or succumb to the ‘that’s how it’s always been done’ trap.”

Hmm.. about your skit. It is so funny. but dont think is comparing people from individualistic cultures (america) and pple from interdependent cultures ( chinese) but is comparing people from different social class. Huahaha... but think you must have presented it already anyway...
