It never occurred to me until I read your survivor story that maybe I was sick because my brain was rejecting reality. I always assumed that it was a delayed rejection of the relentless fast-forwarded MTV, which only kicked in once it stopped. But actually, maybe you're right - I'd become conditioned to hell, and suddenly seeing all the real people on Oxford Street at rush hour was like stepping onto the dock after a month at sea. That's *more* depressing.
But maybe not as depressing as the idea of all those ads being tested so much. Long live Tivo indeed, but I dread to think what subliminal horror they will unleash upon us when we all stop watching regular commercials.
