One of the things I'm fascinated by is the ability of advertisers to co-opt rituals and traditions in order to make people behave irrationally. The Marriage Industrial Complex is an interview with Rebecca Mead, author of One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
