You see, it isn’t the sheer tackiness of them that troubles
me. If people want tacky, let them have tacky. I have little to do with people
anyway. What troubles me is this:
The very fact that they not only exist but patently proliferate
indicates that there must be a demand for them. And that means there must be a
lot of people out there in the so called developed world who are content to
spend their time sitting on a couch and watching a screen in the corner of the
room in the hope of finding something to buy. If that isn’t a leap through the
looking glass, I don’t know what is. And that’s why I’m truly led to suspect
that shopping channels are the true face of dystopia.
