Poking fun at TiVo and shopping mags and advocating content that is just ads within ads within ads as well as calling the political process and most other “content” a waste of time and a hinderence to getting rich, is this snarky take on where advertising is headed:
“Its a shopping lad mag. Seventeen for grown men, if you can still call them that. Its ads surrounded by ads, with ads placed in the ads. Its fucking beautiful. Ill give you an example of content. They have this feature in there thats called, Honey, does this make me look gay? Now, a reasonable person would deduce that, if you made it to page 72 of Cargo, that question is already moot. But, fortunately, people arent reasonable. So you get this great thing where its a whole book full of ads that the guy flips through, only to come to the content, which is basically, Buy this or youre a fucking queer. It doesnt get much better than that. Thats where tv is going. Hell, thats where politics are going. Buy or youre queer. Buy or youre queer.
Thanks to Adrants reader Brian Diedrick for pointing this out.
