POP CULTURE / KITSCH
things I absolutely positively can't live without | [not] | No disrespect meant, the seller of the objet d'art makes some attractive garden ornaments | But I can't imagine actually buying it... or even having something like it in my yard |
But the sculptured table is, I suspect, more acceptable to me than container ships full of slime monster toys, dolls with two heads, little plastic guillotines or books about fingernails | Makes me wonder what workers in Asian sweatshops think about people in industrialized cultures |
I mean, really, this culture of acquisitiveness is every bit as unhealthy as the disease once known as "consumption"
Forget about our global addiction to oil and it's byproducts | That we distract ourselves with absolute utter nonsense products is more disturbing |
Now that I've brought that all up, that wine table garden statue isn't all that bad ~ at least it has a use | ¶ 10:25
