Is advertising not an enormous part of modern culture? It's certainly not the only kind, but it's where we've allocated tons of resources to provoke and stimulate.

Advertisers is a parasite on culture in that it can be a part of it, but for the most part it leeches and re-appropriates culture for its own ends.

Advertising would very much like you to think it’s a big part of modern culture, because that would be vindicating and validating it’s existence.
