This is one of my favorite social commentary videos o’ mine. I go back to this a lot because the culture of New York City is steeped in consumerism and having all the coolest toys. Everything in our capitalist society seems geared to owning crap. Buying stuff. Stimulating the economy by working really hard at a company that is selling something to someone, so you can earn money to buy the stuff that another company is making. This is really the premise of our consumerist popular culture. Ain’t it grand? Ain’t it spiritually awakened? I’m so tired of being made to feel like I need to buy something.
