- Summary:
-
A broadside graphic/typographic commentary on consumer society. The main text is printed in bold sans serif capitals in alternating red and yellow segments that suggest a torn poster. Additional text is letterpress printed between the larger block letters in black ink in smaller san serif capitals (probably Adrian Frutiger's Univers). In the lower center a green hypodermic syringe appears. A barcode replaces its usual measurement markings, and "iShop therefore I am" appears next to the barcode. The needle from the syringe pierces a deformed blue earth.

- Smaller font text reads: "Now that society has habituated itself to rampant consumerism, it has become obvious that although we may have created this world it cannot be of our choice. No society reliant on shopping & real estate to save itself from economic & social disintegration can be expected to progress in a fair & equitable manner-much less survive beyond its own generation".
