Spook Smith
Who is Spook Smith? The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) consists of highly trained agents used by our federal government for a variety of purposes, spying on foreign governments at the top of the list. Many times the operatives are called spooks because they have an invisible image, just like ghosts. The vast majority of CIA agents abide by the law of the land and their sworn oath to uphold and live up to it--but some few do not. One certain CIA agent swore an oath at one time that he kept. He swore that he would get more than even with that team of military police officers that interfered in an illegal drug-smuggling operation he was carrying out for personal gain. They would pay with the...
Sign Wars
Television has become so saturated with commercials that it is difficult at times to tell the different images apart, much less remember or care about them. But, on closer look, television commercials can tell us a great deal about the interplay of market forces, contemporary culture, and corporate politics. This book views contemporary ad culture as an ever-accelerating war of meaning. The authors show how corporate symbols or signs vie for attention-span and market share by appropriating and quickly abandoning diverse elements of culture to differentiate products that may be in themselves virtually indistinguishable. The resulting "sign wars" are both a cause and a consequence of a media culture that is cynical and jaded, but striving for authenticity. Including more than 100 illustrations and numerous examples from recent campaigns, this book provides a critical review of the culture of advertising. It exposes the contradictions that stem from turning culture into a commodity, and illuminates the impact of television commercials on the way we see and understand the world around us.
