Advertising has its taste in cars and clothes. Working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history. No purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won’t. We’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off. 
广告诱惑我们买车子，衣服，于是我们拼命工作买不需要的东西，我们是被历史遗忘的一代，没有目的，没有地位，没有世界大战，没有经济大萧条，我们的大战只是心灵的战斗，我们的恐慌只是我们的生活。从小受电视的影响，我们相信有一天我们都会成为富翁，电影明星或者是摇滚巨星，但是，这些并不会实现。这就是我们逐渐面对的现实，所以我们对此感到非常愤怒。
