It's back to school time, and I can't wait to get my shallow, pathetic, selfish ass to all the stores to stock up on slutty outfits and electronics I'm not even supposed to have in class! And I can't forget an overpriced laptop that I'll only use to visit mySpace during class, and of course I'll need to be wearing all the trendiest makeup too!
Instead of commercials for school supply sales and things beneficial to a learning environment, it's all commercials based on the attitude that you go to school to show off your clothes and play with your electronics. Mottos like, "Don't just go back to school, ARRIVE," and commercials where an insolent spoiled brat ignores his teacher to listen to his iPod and revel in his consumption addiction make me want to beat the shit out of every half-qualified idiot parent that lets their kids act like that.
Not that I didn't already know this, but just to reiterate: our society is doomed.
