Let's save up $100 each and go to the US and spend it on beer and hookers. In other news, I can't believe amazon is so successful with such a shitty website. http://amazon.com/gp/registry/3VD45I3D7JZLF I had to email myself to get a URL for my wishlist. Anyway, please note this is just a to-read list so no one go buying me stuff. Also please note that I am now so backed up that I may need to make a todo list of all my todo lists to keep track. A metado list. Shoot me now. Oh yeah. What's with there being two books? One of them is a sequel? You’re right. Let’s save up $100 each and go to the US and spend it on beer and hookers.

I sympathise with hippies too, but... it isn't the answer. It isn't the smart move. Read "Culture Jam". If people respond to marketing, make them respond to anti-marketing. Also I suspect that it is difficult to anderstand the concept in a foriegn country. I don't believe too much in marketing other than it is there and people generally seem to ignore it. I suspect people in NZ are more pragmatic than other places. I'd have to see it first hand in the US to really get it (because I can't bring myself to believe that it's true) You don’t need to suggest, that’s absolutely true.

Mm, food. Anyway I sympathise with the hippies of which you speak. One might suggest that marketing, excessive marketing gone wild, drives the consumer society. <img src="/images/posts/corporatewar.jpg" alt="Tanks waging war with sponsorship stickers." /> Yes, no offence there sir, I do of course make an exception for anything involving food.

I'm from marketing. I'm slightly more upset with the people who choose to buy something they don't need because of smiling insincerety. This is a desperate projection on their behalf and if you don't learn from that mistake, what will you learn? And the I Hate Marketing hippies who chant and placard and hand out flyers and proselytise on streetcorners about the evil marketing regimes. Bitch about your actual concerns. Go away and think about what really bothers you, and then get back to me. It's using a word in it's own definition. Utterly confused. Hey. I’m from marketing.
