or Everything you ever wanted to know about peace but didn't know who to ask"

By establishing this model we deconstruct the new global advertisment mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click-based economic models. We inject a social virus ("let's share their shares") into their commercial body hidden under a polite and friendly graphic surface. Theory Text - Hack the Google self.referentialism
