Thanks! I think that's pretty awesome

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

-- E.L. Doctorow

Thanks to handy iMac zoooom --

I can read that immortal phrase! Thanks.
Have always considered that little koan to represent the zenith of Advertising (as an Art rather than it's current nuisance-form.. instantly toxic to all remaining healthy neurons.)

Close second: the Exxon (??) commercials of yore, depicting a dinosaur roaring out of your gas tank; a prescient omen reciting the fact of their demise: to provide you with YAN trip in the SUV for a Big Gulp -- unsuccessful warning to the oblivious majority -- while sententiously heralding Peak Oil '09 or '01, whatever.
