Baudrillard's Simulacrum

CLIP SHOULD WORK NOW!!!!

Sometimes, I think, we can take the simulacrum too literally. Watching this clip of the documentary Surplus, really helped me put it into context of Baudrillard's attack on Capitalism.

Here is part 2/7 of Erik Gandini's Surplus. It is a brilliant and mesmerizing yet didactic piece of propaganda. I have watched it several times and have never failed not to be sucked in by its hypnotic nature.

The clip I am talking about ends before the Sex Doll factory tour starts. Though I would recommend watching the whole documentary if you can.

AFTER the 2:25 minute mark there is an interview in a Sex Doll factory so be forewarned!
