So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

An observation of sorts, but having just returned from the weeks shopping it struck me that I was taking too long to choose which particular anti-perspiramt I should purchase. Detaching myself for that manic really focussed on amission type moment I worked out that there were 210 square feet of shelves dedicated to this particular product! I further counted 60 different types, not brands of the bloody stuff on one shelf unit, 5'x7' give or take the odd inch. Multiply this by the 7 units and you get 420 different kinds of anti-perspirant product give or take a few(Th really popular ones were probably on another shelf and taking up more width. Nevertheless this is quite a choice option. Just how mad is capitalism, to think that a product my parents probably never bought and my grandparents certainly didn't, has this level of do-your-head-in-ness. Bring back the DDR.posted by timesnewroman at 8:18 PM
