They're everywhere, but I can't find them

VideoID Filter: Help me find an online video from about a year ago that "highlighted" all of the advertisements in a city. All of the ads were white and everything else was black (or the other way around?). It really illustrated how surrounded by consumerism we are.
Response by poster: It's not São Paulo, but that came up a lot during my searching. It looks like a great idea, though it would never work in the US. One can always dream...

Response by poster: More info (that I thought I had put in the question):
It's a video where someone with a camera was walking around a city with some heavy rotoscoping applied. They had turned all of the ads white and blacked out everything else. I don't think that the city was the focus so much as the ubiquitousness of the advertising.
