Image by Christian Bachellier via Flickr Actually it makes me want nothing. I’m living in the age of over-advertisement.  It’s everywhere, and often misplaced.  My to be children, by the time they are 6, are more likely to know the cartoon character Ronald McDonald that to recongize the face of their current President.  And I’m not sure [...]
