taken from a situationist pamphlet. on this pamphlet, a cartoon of two girls can be seen, walking in a shopping mall. on the left the phrase 'the only free choice is the refusal to pay' is written. the girls say to each other: 'have a dress - i've nicked three. what did you get?' - 'philosophy in the boudoir and a pint of gin'.this cartoon reflects the situationist theory that everything in the modern consumerist society is dominated by a 'spectacle': nothing, even philosophy, is real anymore. Everything is absorbed by a pre-fab, simplistic and clichéd image.
