"There is a place where all the breasts are large. Large, young, tanned, and naked. A place where everyone fucks and fucks and fucks and never dies. Where the men are rich and carefree and the women are beautiful and pliant and young. Where television quiz shows are strip quiz shows. Where sports-talk shows are sports-talk shows bookended by women in bikinis. The women in government, too, are the women of buoyant, ageless breasts. They are members of Parliament. They are the sexiest cabinet ministers in the world. In this place, most schoolgirls hope to get jobs someday doing the special TV shimmy-dance you do by yourself on-camera, and then maybe go on to marry a soccer player or take their place in the parliament of beauty. You don't have to pay taxes in this place, and the laws are only laws until they limit your dreams. This place was invented by one man, a man who changed the world of rationing and punishment into a place that promises you can have everything you want and need never be punished again. This man dreamed up the television, he appointed the ministers, he started the revolution, and he is the greatest living exponent of his vision. A man who never, ever gets old, never goes bald, never gets untan or looks as short as he used to. A man who never, never stops smiling" (david freeman, gq)
