The New Yorker Inane Ad of the Week

It is true that the New Yorker is my favorite magazine, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love checking out The New Yorker Inane Ad of the Week.
Robert Callahan’s site “highlights an especially absurd advertisement from the pages of the militantly bourgeois New Yorker magazine. The selected avertisements evince the ridiculous excesses of our consumer culture. They target an audience with a disgustingly high rate of disposable income and hawk to it the most frivolous of baubles, endeavoring to engender — and promising, for a hefty sum, to gratify — desires nobody could have developed on her or his own.”
