Franz K syndrome

need some stillness on a friday night...
...
I was telling a friend today how in the media and even in actual life now we were expected to make such strange connections between the bodies whose level of reality are totally different.
You turn on the Tv and there is this add saying that with a coca cola lid, you can buy 50 extra credits for your cell phone. If you can manage to get your credits, then you get a message on your cell phone saying that you can shop from brand x with a 20 percent discount. Then you go to the shop and the guy behind the desk tells you to send a message to xxxx to activate your account in their system, so you can buy the bloody jumber with the discount. You buy the jumber and you get a receit and on the receit it says, if you dial xxxx you get an extra credit.

Leave aside promotion of consumerism, trying to make sense out of all these connections and shifts between virtual and actual reality is exhausting and a terrible waste of time and energy!!!

Ok, looking at the TV for even one day was enough to remind me how I hate being this passive observer of all that paralyzing shit-production.
