Pure Capitalism
The enigmatic Marshall McLuhan said that the electric light bulb was pure information. One of those statements that I sort of 'got', but really didn't.

Here's pure capitalism: MTV and shows like them.

They consist entirely of ads - the music videos, interrupted by regular TV ads.

These guys are genius.
They should get some kind of Friedman award
