“People want to back a winner. They need to feel a part of something bigger than they are. They used to advertise the quality of a product - tastes great, whitens your teeth, shaves close, rides like a dream.  Now what do they push - America's number one soft drink, best-selling mid-sized utility vehicle.

You know, mid-teen, male, upper-middle income, bored, hip-hop listening, underage drinking, pathologically masturbating little consumer.”
Treed Murray (2001) – Murray (David Hewlett)
