In true postmodern fashion, he argues that there can be no meaningful division between high art and advertising.... [N]ot a single page is without a cleverly turned sentence, thought-provoking remark, or outrageous conclusion.' -Wired |

| Publisher Description: We see them in flashing kaleidoscopes of colour and sound on television, splashes of neon on billboards, on glossy spreads in newspapers and magazines. We hear the peppy jingles on the radio. We even find them being sneaked past us as underwriting on public television and radio. Advertising is like a song Americans can't get out of their heads. |
