im BORED. im getting in to PBS. lots of educational stuff. although it aint always good. I saw this program called the "mercahnts of cool," which was about how the Spectacle is a feed back loop. we imitate a trend that we see on TV because we are given it, but we dont realise that it was given to us. so we think it's unique. something different. (did you know that some companies go around talking pictures of "alternative" teens and then put those pictures on the internet so that companies can see what's unique (all for the price of 8,000 dollars)?) it's like all those music snobs who talk about indie rock bands all the time and rail against the radio. it's like those sad-alienated fucking aspiring supermodels that are 13 years old, who wear too much make up, who feel that they MUST look good to please the men... they feel unique. they feel different. where do they get their atitudes? some kind natural thing with pre-teens eh? nah. it was given to them, by the damn sexist culture. it's just the same with men, though.
i need to read Society of the Spectacle, but it's hard to even understand it. i hear the last few chapters are easy, though. im gonna go do that.
