People love advertising. Advertising itself is more addictive than the products it advertises.
Friends call me crazy when I watch TV with them and am like "yooo what a sick ad! omg let's goooo" I'm so hyped about this shit, because I ron't see ads in my own spaces. When it cones to television they interest me more than the actual content. Ads are like sugar, fast food, a cigarette, or a slop blockbuster movie. You want to get dumb. You want it to get into your brain.
It's belletristic and from I think... 2000something? "99 francs" is the original title. There's a book and a movie too. It's pretty whacky but I found it to be very enjoyable, it portrays the sheer insanity of the ad industry from the inside and the outside.
Sorry I'm still a bit ill, got the flu and my brain has turned into mush over the last few days. Glad hexbear is back I missed you so much
