Tuesday, March 04, 2008Getting out of touch with reality?Another thing i mentioned on Sunday was Marks and Spencers have an 'apple template' that all apples they buy must match in order to be sold there. Others that don't match are left to rot! No doubt there are similar things going on in other supermarkets and multiple products. They are selecting those apples on the basis of what they think consumers want to buy [nice looking ones], but in the process informing the consumer what apples actually look like. We are so disconnected from the earth!! Here's the thing: Consumerism affects how we perceive reality. The apple thing though is completely trivial though when compared to this: See the post and comments at: ASBO Jesus. Everyone should look at this, it may help to get reality in-focus again? ![]() Labels: random, reflective Posted by: Mark | 4:51 pm |
