one little cog

I was watching John Carpenter’s classic film, They Live and I thought this was a perfect clip from the movie to show how advertisers used to (and continue to) fail their customers by not truly helping them — especially when we humans find out. This scene involves our main character who discovers a special pair of sunglasses that allows him to see the hidden messages placed their by aliens — I figure it was an amusing shot at all the bad advertisers out there who only focus on shoving their message in our faces. In all mediums too (sans the internet)!
