Mark Dery writes in his new book _The Pyrotechnic Sanitarium_ (p. 58):
'irony is our birthright: the knowing quotes with which we frame our hit movie slogans and advertising buzz phrases ...Irony may be a 'leaky condom' as a defense against the advertising virus... but it's the only way the generations raised on TV know of preventing themselves from being sucked, Poltergeist-like, into the vast wasteland on the other side of the screen.'
