Yes, put DeBord on your reading list, for sure. As Montag writes:

This is our time. Our most valuable possession. If there is something to be won from the society of the spectacle, if victory is possible, it must lie in the reclamation of the life-time it steals from us.

Think about that the next time some insurance company puts you on hold.

'Spectacle is the sun that never sets over the empire of modern passivity.'

Yep, continue to sit in front of the HDTV watching the NBA/NFL/WWF/MMA while yah guzzle Bud Lite tellin' yerself yer rich and see what it gits yah!

I close with,

'Culture is the meaning of an insufficiently meaningful world.'

This is what you should be supporting and viewing as opposed to 'The Spectacle'.
