Unless you're both making the decidedly trivial point that literally everything that appears in a mass medium inevitably becomes part of the Spectacle, including any war, riot, boxing match or natural disaster. Not everything is or can be rigged, otherwise the word 'rigged' is meaningless.Handsome B.

And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all."
