I assume you know my quote was from Bill Hicks. And i lived with a marketing student for a year, together with having my teenage years flooded with cynicism towards pack behaviour. So the whole concept angers me unless its simple and easy to understand. I press MUTE on the telly and do something else when the ads are on because they fuck me off so much.
