This blog about media,the psychology of consumer behaviour, visual communications,and the strange cultural history of advertising will investigate what things say and what they mean and what that says about the strange strange world that is us.

Being Dead is Big Business! Get your Death Bump here!
I really really don't want to talk about Michael Jackson; I really don't. In fact if I never hear his name or see his image again, I'd be happy. But sometimes you just have to say something.
According to Q scores celebrities who have had problems with their image while alive have proved to be more marketable after death, and of course they are predicting a "death bump" with MJ!
