Culturally, globalization gives way to a promiscuity of signs and values, to a form of pornography in fact. Indeed, the global spread of everything and nothing through networks is pornographic. No need for sexual obscenity anymore. All you have is a global interactive copulation.

Wow! Heavy! I had forgotten what french academese sounded like. Foucalt and Derrida are now worm food but as long as this Baudrillard character still waves we still have a frenchy multipostcritical theoretician to ooh and ah over. Umm, by the way, what exactly was he saying?

I slogged my way through the whole thing. What he was saying is "Mickey Mouse is Satan." My translation.
