The Riots of Consumption

Not that I hark back to the days of 'good brave causes', I mean rioting is rioting but this wasn't about any form of civil rights it was about consumption, it was about these kids not being able to afford anything that they have been marketed. It's about the X (factor) generation unable to be 'stars' themselves, about not having the trainers and the flat screen telly. It's about consumption gone wrong.

Most of all, it's about capitalism finally consuming itself.
