Justin, thank you but really this was meant more as a comment on shopping as entertainment than an indictment on the consumer society. :)

Indeed, this seems to be a good social commentary shot on conspicuous consumption or excess in western culture. The noise gives this a news article feel.

Ray: as a former R1 owner (loved its image quality and its CMOS sensor), I see instantly that the perspective is from waist level, while your LCD is flat on the top of the R1 and you're looking down on it! ;) Good memories for me! Our "local" Costco is quite far away for me here in NYC, and, as I do not own a car, I don't have the occasion to visit too often. My oh my...so many LCD tv's! The "land of plenty"? Mais oui! vincentNYC

My Chinese students often ask me about life in North America. I should show them this. This is reportage for the life section of the newspaper.
