Picture Copyright Andreas GurskyFirst of all, That isn't even the full picture. its like, a third. But you get the message. If you want to view the full picture, and in the mean time ignore my ranting, click the picture. And be amazed in it's colourful glory.
My thoughts, summarised.
1: Ooh, sweets.
2: America (or my distorted view of it)
3: General Consumarism
4: How much money spent of creating all of that.
5: How much money spent on trying to make me buy things.
6: Impressed that my first thought was that. Well done advertising.
7: Worried at how well I'm influenced.
Although I'm not a part of that exact culture (although I am recognising British similarities) I can see how much resources are being used just to make people buy things. No wonder I get a bit dizzy sometimes, when walking down a supermarket. All of those stuff trying to grab my attention.
My stomach hurts from just thinking about this picture. I'm not sure whether it's my Conscience, or my sweet tooth.
On a plus note for the advertisers, I want an american kit kat bar, just from the packaging. it reminds me of Willy Wonka.
ReplyDeleteOh, and if you want something to distract you from the feelings of guilt, like I'm feeling right now, here is an alternate picture you can view.
