While clothes with pictures and/or writing on them are not entirely an invention of the modern age, they are an unpleasant indication of the general state of things. ... I mean, be realistic. If people don't want to listen to you, what makes you think they want to hear from your sweater?

We live in a culture where everyone is perfectly willing to do this [to make a lot of money], and they're just looking for the opportunity.
