Description

Simply our generation. The copy reads;

Transit, money, food and sex are our basic needs. We are the generation void of our parents values. We face growing rent and lower paying jobs. Our lifestyle is an obsession of commodity where the price of love is paid with a credit card and a high speed connection to the world. Our dreams, once filled with ignorance are rounded and filed down by our desensitization of life. Cars that make the wallet pocket of our pants bleed are bought and sold on credit that we can never hope to repay. Try explaining to your mother why you sell your looks for food and ignore the needs of your lover to keep track of your lost future goals. We take drugs and dance trying for every moment of emotional freedom that our city life holds under a thumb of an adidas billboard ad.

that man came by again today. he said that god could save us. i didn't know what to tell him so i took his watchtower and awakenings magazine. i would have given them to you but i used them for toilet paper because i couldn't afford any today. there's a page or two left i think, they're sitting on the back of the toilet with a few left over mcdonald's napkins. i thought about reading them but lately i've been questioning weather there is a good or not. i figured that i like not having to deal with religion so didn't read them. they tore my anus up and gave me a rash so i'm going to assume that those magazines really are more harm than good. oh, that reminds me - don't give the homeless man on the corner money any more. I gave him a sandwich earlier thinking that he was hungry, but he threw it at me instead and said, "what use is food! i need money.".

i like the juxtaposition of such warm colors with such a numb and jaded message. also of note is the fact that yellow/orange/red/brown are the colors employed by fast food companies as they make people feel more like consuming and create a false sense of urgent hunger without making them feel particularly welcome or comfortable: buy and get the hell out. seems appropriate. also really digging the pigeons... they could fly away, but they never will. they get fed on the leftover scraps and wasteful trash of cities... why leave when you can make it here? somewhere else might not be as warm with car exhaust and trashcan fires. depressing but very poignant and well done.
