corporate takeover

love Rev. Billy...
"Consumerism escapes blame. It manages the blame. It is Consumerism’s job to normalize itself, and this is present in every newest face and every latest ad. Consumerism can’t let us back away from the newest face and see the whole picture, the dying mountain upon which we stand. No, Consumerism is like a cancerous growth that doesn’t care that when the whole body dies, it dies too"

3. the article

is about the faces we see behind corporate sponsorship: i.e. Lindsay Vonn, Michael Phelps, etc. ...his question is what happens when there is no more a human face behind the push? will it be too late?
