A Kodachrome moment in what could be Everymans living room at 3:03 a.m., between the Infomercial and Home Shopping Network, Facebook and The Real Donald Trump on Truth Social.
The promise of “But wait there’s more!” forever unfulfilled.
The sudden realization that there won’t be more.
This is all there is, this lonely little screen, this is all there ever will be, and between the “low low prices” and “everything gotta go” jingles you are simultaneously compelled and horrified that you might buy a combination battery charger, compressor and pedicure kit that slices and dices, and everything that is not a lie is a conspiracy.
But the time to act is now, the grey voice drones on...
A ungodly hour, certainly,
Another sleepless night.
Viewing this print leads one to wonder:
Has the observer been driven to violence?
Three shots to the screen?
Or is something --aliens or giant ants, Kristi Noem or even Ron Popeil himself-- trying to get out?
