Opinions and thoughts

So as I continue reading The Vancouver Courier (print edition, pen in hand), I found some more items I wanted to share.

"... a goal perfectly in tune with our Hobbesian culture, where the most insidious wars are the ones you wage against yourself."
- Ad industry fixated on idealized female body image By Geoff Olson

This statement intrigues me. I would like to learn more about said Hobbesian culture. I just need to be careful not to keep imagining a tall, skinny cartoon tiger.

"You wouldn't invite a strange man into your home. So why would you invite advertisers, publicists, paparazzi and copywriters into your head?"
- Ad industry fixated on idealized female body image By Geoff Olson

This made me write in the column of the paper: Careful who you invite into your head. Which seemed sort of a cool and high-school notebook type musing.


Oh, and is Geoff pronounced "Gee-off" or "Jeff"? I never can decide.
