It has its own cathedrals (shopping malls), its own rituals (getting up early on sales days), its own holy days (black Friday), and its promises of utopia (leisure and pleasure). It has its priests telling you what to wear (fashion designers and magazines) and its evangelists (sales people in commercials). It has its own form of fellowship by virtue of where one shops and the brands that one purchases.	Charles Arand	Tim
