Because then you’re watching television, you’re watching the news, you’re being pumped full of fear. There’s floods, there’s AIDS, there’s murder, cut to commercial, buy the Acura, buy the Colgate. If you have bad breath, they’re not going to talk to you, if you have pimples, the girl is not going to fuck you, and it’s just this campaign of fear, and consumption, and that’s what I think it’s all based on, the whole idea of ‘keep everyone afraid, and they’ll consume’.
