Then I continue telling people around the group to pose in the picture, random people that is. At first just a few join in but there's a point when everybody else sees how big the group is getting and just jump into frame.. everybody. I've gotten some pretty hilarious pics doing this stunt and it proves your point perfectly. It happens everywhere. Be it at a Sasquatch music festival, the internet or some club in Germany. Anyway, I got a new favorite song: I got to be UNSTOPPABLE! Sometimes when I’m in a club I do this thing were I take a camera and gather a group of friends to take a picture.

It's great you pointed out the "All American" breakfast as he used the "tie-in" strategy in that case much as email spammers use it today. He would get physicians to "recommend" it convincing the public that it was in fact true. Your points were super clear and very well put, thanks a lot for commenting Athena!

Sure his work was in the pioneering forefront of its time but like most great thinkers and their work their results were and are astounding. Its like saying Freud had some great ideas but that they are outdated today. The fact is that their works have to do with humans and though we have changed a lot in the past 50 years we are still humans, much like you pointed out yourself with the critical mass exercise. Sure the style at which he did things would look strange today but it was great for its time. I am sure that if he were here today he would be able to make us all think we need whatever it is that his clients tell him to sell us. I mean it was because of him that still today the "All American" breakfast is bacon and eggs. Not sure if I made my point but that's that.
