Beijing Olympics - Is anyone else tired of Michael Phelps?

Exterminieren!
http://culturalsnow.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 07/ exterminieren.html"This is my ultimate victory: the destruction of reality itself!" Crikey. Now, I could at this point ruin what's left of your weekend with several thousand words about Baudrillard and the deceptive reality of the simulacrum, spiced up with half a dozen Nietzsche-fuelled footnotes.
