"Bubbles, bubbles, my bubbles!"

At the moment I'm studying for an exam in "consumerism, identity and communication" and it's very interesting. Old stuff like the Simpsons' episode Grift of the Magi (where a company takes over Springfield Elementary School and uses the children to bring forth new products) and the Futurama episode A Fishful of Dollars (where a company advertises in people's dreams) become brand new and I see them in a completely different light. It's really creepy that advertising can take over like this.

Oh, a Simpsons' episode I haven't seen a hundred times! Yay!
