re: #126 Obdicut

Okay. Do you understand what “x is the new x” means?

Since you brought up the marketing/PR analogy, I’m assuming you thought it related. Correct me if I’m wrong.

If, in the lingua franca of culture, hate=sex, one might expect to see product advertising, reality TV shows, etc… marked up with hate instead of sex. Instead of the Bud bikini gals - a bunch of hooded beer-drinkers. You follow me?

I don’t see that. That is why I don’t believe that hate has replace sex as the new tittilating device. Now, if I still don’t get the x=x thing, please explain - but that is the evidence that I would otherwise be looking for to denote a new fashionable state of culture.

Again, I’m open for correction in case I don’t completely understand your point.
