At the moment I don't want to pay for the Blogger upgrades that are so aggressively advertised by the annoying ad up top there (ahem, apologies to the readership). But this made me think that a very strange business model has emerged where the customer pays to
avoid seeing advertising. I can just imagine our future now: while the elite can live quietly, the poor are bombarded by their city-supplied video-walls, and their printers pour out coupons for the local McNokia. No wonder Kim Il Sung hated us.
