"Magazines and advertising are flogging the idea that you have to keep changing things and get something new. I think that's balls - evil. But obviously that's your livelihood"

This quote by Robin Day is a criticism of the customer culture that has been produced by magazines and advertising. He thinks that these sources are pushing the concept that people require to keep buying new things and that this is incorrect. He thinks that this is a wicked way of thinking and that it is only beneficial to those who are making money from it. He is suggesting that those who are profiting from this consumer culture are doing so at the expenditure of others. He is also suggesting that this consumer culture is not useful to society as a whole, as it encourages individuals to buy things they don't require and to waste money. He is suggesting that this is not a sustainable lifestyle and that it is ultimately damaging to society.
