Very funny.
Advertisement that you have to interact with, then an old bloke saying 10 words then another ad - fuck that. Sorry I'm just not interested enough to sit through cars ads to get to a guy selling shit no one needs. Capitalism indeed.

Is the discipline of art criticism and the office of the art critic irrelevant today?
