12-02-2009 - Overhyped Junk

 

Back -- Caught you lookin' for the same thing

Hype and overhype feels bigger now than it used to because, like all things, mass mediatization has changed the way we experience the world. But that doesn't mean the modern age invented hype - just marketed it. Hype exists because people like to exaggerate and embellish upon everything that was, is, or is about to be. If I just caught a fish, it was the biggest trout ever. That kind of thing.

Now here are some random images related to hype.

Now discuss whatever you want. Just hype it up first.

Don't believe the hype
