Thoughts from the Radio
As I was driving home today I was listening to “To the Best of Our Knowledge.” Today’s program was about shopping. A few statements from the program stuck with me.
The first segment focused on shopping malls. Stores tend to be set up in a strong right hand fashion. Meaning that customers are drawn to their right, enticing people to pick up and then buy a total of 2/3rds more than they intended to. This makes some amount to sence to me. The majority of the population is right handed. They probably grab for things with their right hands. I however, am left handed and therefore see the world a bit differently at times. I wonder if this right hand orientation does not work as well with lefties. Or if we have just become so used to it that we don’t notice. . .
The third segment was an interview with Reverand Billy from The Church of Stop Shopping. The “church” is just as much a religion as it is a political action group. Two of the statements that the good reverand made 1) Nike has the word “revolution” trademarked and 2) Fox News has the word “god” copyrighted. Don’t you just love large corperations?
