Web site Theory.org.uk has a series of trading cards on philosophers. For instance, the card on Theodore Adorno reads, "(He) argued the popular media is the product of a 'culture industry' which keeps the population passive, preserving dominance of capitalism at the expense of true happiness. Mass media is standardised, and the pleasures it offers are illusory -- the result of 'false needs' which the culture industry creates. Argument is elitist, but that doesn't mean it's wrong necessarily."
Whoa, that dude was smart. I wonder what Jessica Simpson would say about this?
