"The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the
inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage
to remain
silent. Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts,
movies,
presenters—there is no alternative but to fill the screen; otherwise there
would be an irremediable void.... That’s why the slightest technical hitch,
the
slightest slip on the part of the presenter becomes so exciting, for it
reveals the depth of the emptiness squinting out at us through this little
window."

-Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929) French semiologist
"Cool Memories," ch. 4
