Corporate Regurgitated Mediocrity Supplants Vision, Aesthetics, and Excitement

I vaguely remember touring the Monsanto "House of the Future" in Disneyland in 1968 and being intrigued by just how ... futuristic it looked. (Remember how "in the future" we were all going to travel down the street on mini hovercrafts and EVerything would be push-button controlled? because they hadn't realized yet just what a bitch it is when the damn pushbutton wears out.) This news story looks like fun until you get to the second paragraph... great vintage clips, however:

And of course now Monsanto has morphed into the evil empire from HELL that would destroy all life on the planet in the name of copywriting seed varieties... UGH.
