When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
Sinclair Lewis - 1935
In fast-moving, progress-conscious America, the consumer expects to be dizzied by progress. If he could completely understand advertising jargon he would be badly disappointed. The half-intelligibility which we expect, or even hope, to find in the latest product language personally reassures each of us that progress is being made: that the pace exceeds our ability to follow.

You can’t outsource balls. That’s what America will always lead the world in: ball

My point is, this is America. You start out with hand jobs and progress to orgies. You smoke some dope and then, the big H. This is our whole culture of bigger, better, stronger, faster. The key word is progress.
In America, if your addiction isn’t always new and improved, you’re a failure.
