i think it's ironic that i get both adbusters and flaunt in the mail every month, each being on the opposite ends of the consumer spectrum...
i believe that if consumerism was not an inherent part of the way the human animal thinks, it would never have developed. what we have here is an exaggeration of the little things we need to process daily events, blown out of proportion by our very success as a species. we always judge another human by what he or she posesses; what you have in your home and what you wear establish who you are to other people. it's not new, and will always be this way. we're just better at it now because we can get a wider varriety things much easier.
