Apparently Benneton has, gone beyond its Big Blue Marble ad aproach and is
now  a 96 page insert featuring death row inmates. I am going to try to get a
hold of this thing. I realize this may be a heavily chewed over subject, but
I found this article in the most recent Advertising Age. Nothing about this
in Brandweek, and Adweek is absent from the library.

I was so shokced I had a whiskey drink, then a vodka drink, then a lager
drink, then a cider drink.

I think its very easy to spout truisms about how capitalists well sell you
the potato spuds to fry them with,  but I feel it is necessary to look at
these sorts of things in the specific, particularly these days.;
