What’s interesting is that you’d expect the advertisers to
aim their effluent at that section of the market where the money is, so one
must assume that the money is mostly in the pockets of mentally deficient
teenage boys. Strange, but nothing about the human condition or the state of
western culture shocks me any more. I came to the regrettable but inevitable conclusion
a long time ago that the majority of human beings are pretty crap, and that
includes me. (I lay claim to the fact that I’m pretty crap in a different way than
most human beings, but also accept that it’s no excuse.)
By way of an odd contrast, it was reported today that nearly
half the world’s wealth is owned by 1% of the world’s population. I doubt that
many of this elite band are mentally deficient teenage boys, although they
might well be mentally challenged in a variety of other ways. That's the mystery.
Meanwhile, I should imagine that a similar statistic probably held true during the Middle Ages. Haven’t we come a long way in 600 years?
