OH my God, there are these fucking commercials playing all the time on TV here. They are for Values.com. The commercials are awful. Even worse than those terrible KAY jewelers commercials. So bad. Ian I am reminded of your essay on commercial narratives. I never read it, but I remember you talked about it in class. But these are just trite, contrived narratives that are so heavy handed and sentimental, I want to scream at the TV. i think a church is behind this. but I really don't want to investigate, because I just don't. I just want the commercials to stop.
Almost read the whole The Book of Whispering in the Projection Booth by Joshua Marie Wilkinson. I recommend, as always.
Later,
Joshua

...but we did investigate the Values.com to find out it's actually not a church-run organization, it's actually sponsored by a non-profit funded by some billionaire.
I miss American values.
