There is nothing more mysterious than a TV set left on in an empty room. It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming at her stove. It is as if another planet is communicating with you. – Jean Baudrillard

The marketing immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder. – Jean Baudrillard
