american consumerism at its worst (behold holy capitalism)

Photobucket

This morning whilst reading about the iPad's launch and viewing the accompanying photos of consumers waiting for product, I began to channel Tyler Durden.

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't.
