From _Hyperallergic_: An Illustrated Guide to Guy Debord's 'The Society of the Spectacle'
>Guy Debord’s (1931–1994) best-known work, La société du spectacle (The Society of the Spectacle) (1967), is a polemical and prescient indictment of our image-saturated consumer culture. The book examines the “Spectacle,” Debord’s term for the everyday manifestation of capitalist-driven phenomena; advertising, television, film, and celebrity.

Good to see that Glamorgan Cricket Club’s home ground in Cardiff is being renamed back to _Sophia Gardens Cardiff_. The (sponsored) _SSE SWALEC Stadium_ never really had the same ring to it! 🏏
