I have a dream of commercials being strongly regulated and packaged the same way cigarettes is in some countries.

An unappealing grey background, a representative, unedited, in-situ photograph of the product along with a text describing the name and specifications of the product, maybe along with some state-appointed announcer who neutrally reads the text.



Like it! Or maybe the view as through Hoffman glasses in "They Live", where every ad is reduced to a singular essential word, its naked psychological truth.

   Obey.   Covet.   Fear.
