anti-advertising
Sean
was definitely
right about advertising
. I remember reading a hilarious Douglass Adams book where he talks about the day when advertising companies get so good at their craft that they can make you buy something no matter what. Futurama had this too, when Fry had a dreamvertisement about underwear and he had to go buy some.
Anyways there’s a group called the
Anti-Advertising Agency
that’s trying to call attention to NYC’s “True Graffiti Problem” :
Also, as my cousin said, pretty much any video with Ratatat in the background just seems better =).

another book to consider in this context is Pohl’s
The Merchant’s War

GRL
mentioned there
