Corner View - Silly


Walking through L.A.'s "gift district"


it's hard not to be reminded that notwithstanding the


charm and cheer that an individual gift item might represent...... 


when you see it in really great numbers, i.e., as the "commodity" that it is, and scale it up to a global obsession with consumption.  It really starts to seem quite "silly"!

What do you think?

    I concur. It IS more than a bit silly. I feel claustrophobic just looking at these. :-)
