Okay, in the case of junk food, it's different.
But watching a movie has never destroyed anyone, I think.

I esp like verse 13 - laughed out loud over that part, and verse 19 and the last vers 20 was fabuous in it bleak truth/and the rhyme to send the message home ;-/. The world's richest 1% get 82% of the wealth, according to Oxfam. The NGO has produced similar reports for the past five years. In 2017 ...

your poem is that good IMO - do you have more work? curious.

Not a great deal of response.

The quote and the lyrics to Revolution (Beatles) have a similar message. Incorrect. Perhaps you merely glanced at the quote I posted. The association is understandable, but what Baudrillard is saying is that aesthetics is primary. Basically, what he is saying is that there will be no revolution, be...

Actually, come to think about it, it would have made more sense if the man were a boy and the wife his girlfriend... I'll have to retell it! :? A boy comes home to his girlfriend carrying a box of condoms with different flavours. He says to her, "Let's have some fun. We'll turn off the lights, I'll ...

A man comes home to his wife carrying a box of condoms with different flavours. He says to her, "Let's have some fun. We'll turn off the lights, I'll put some on, and you have to guess what flavour it is." His wife agrees; they head into the bedroom; they undress; they turn off the lights. Fifteen s...

"The blank, oppressive void facing the American consumer populace remains unfilled today, despite the recent launch of the revolutionary Swiffer dust-elimination system, sources reported Monday.

"You can say what you want about this country, and I love this place.

Though many attempt rhyme very few succeed. On this site, I didn't think anybody could. I was obviously wrong!

Thanks!

Nice and snug in the social, with our historical passions withdrawn into the glow of an artificial coziness, our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures." - Jean Baudrillard
