Thought for the day

"There is something of a parasitic quality about advertising. It feeds on the organisms of noncommercial culture - the culture's past and present, ideology and myths, politics and customs, art and architecture, literature and music, and even its religions . . . . For example, women are commodified to sell everything from cars to colognes . . . . Advertising thus pimps its products".
- Ronald K.L. Collins and David M. Skover
