This article displays a complete misunderstanding of advertising and an intellectual arrogance that I've come to expect from AdBusters. They are disgusted by the <i>"proletariat"</i> and his need to buy the latest bauble even while claiming to be fighting for him. Maybe, just maybe, the average consumer knows what he wants better than a bunch of pseudo-intellectual hipsters.
An excellent example of both faux-deconstruction <a href="http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/decon.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/decon.html</a> and intellectual impostors as described by Dawkins <a href="http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/dawkins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/dawkins.html</a>, also seen on Hacker News :-D<p>Seriously, read both those articles and compare with this if you think I'm trolling.<p>Anti-consumerists dancing on capitalists' graves are getting jiggy too soon. Eyeballs still equals sales, there just isn't quite as much money swirling around the system right now.<p>[Edited for clarity]
Now regardless of the lack of meaningful content, I would like to urge writers to learn how to write a proper introduction and conclusion on long articles, which together summarize its contents. See it as a service to your reader.
