Consumer

“We’re consumers. We are bi-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don’t concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy’s name on my underwear.”


Know what I'm referring to?


Jbear got a new sound system so his entertainment system is finally complete.
 
What a guy. 
Mismatched couches, probably picked up from the side of the road, and two bowls, one chipped.
But I can see every flaw MAC is trying to camouflage on each reality star's face.
And the intro to COD feels like I just paid to experience a bit of Hollywood.

On to the next room?
I enjoying perusing the pages of Dwell but I think I could live with mismatched couches.
I like that about him. Some things just aren't so urgent and important.
Majority of the world lives on much less.


Back to the question.
Fight Club (10th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]

Yup. Fight Club.
I got him his favorite movie to test out the system.
How fitting. 
A film raging on consumerism in celebration of his new purchase.

“The things you own end up owning you.”
