Logorama

Take all the advertising you've ever been fed with. The logos, the slogans, the TV ads, the roadside signs and all the rest. Then mix it in with Batman's-killer-clown-meets-Ronald-McDonald, some second rate pulp fiction movie featuring donut-eating policemen and armed robberies, and a bit of James Bond. Plus the zoo from Madagascar. And a pinch of some apocalyptic movie featuring deadly earthquakes and floods. And there you have it: it's media mayhem! Pour a generous amount of dark humor + an even thicker bunch of layers identifiable in the palimpsest, and it's called Logorama (thx, cinesseur!):

While watching, this line by Nick Shay from Underworld came to mind: Consume or die. That's the mandate of our culture.

Or better yet: consume and die.
