The revolution will be televised.

As a matter of fact, right now you can buy the commemorative t-shirts, hats, coffee mugs, CD-Roms, paintings, sportshoes, sport drinks, swimsuits, sunglasses and tattoos or you can catch it all in several theaters in the neighborhood; you can find it under a heat lamp at McDonald's, have it delivered to your girl/boyfriend on Valentine's Day; you can snort it, smoke it, shoot it up, and pop it in less time than it takes to burn a flag, so why bother?

The revolution is here folks, and we're buying it from the same people we're supposed to be rebelling against.
