Leave it to a corporation to get it inside its head to get inside your head

                                                                                                                   and assign its ad department (was addept lost on everyone save him) a campain (lost again) to incite consumers to “quiver and quake and clutch at themselves” (thanks Frank)

Leave it to Corporation Nikon

                                                (he didnt know what its Internal Numbers were but hed be curious and edified to know what its rendered Market Share of cameras was  to snatch a glimpse of its coloured Summary Graph illustrating how cameras   embedded in cellphones  were affecting

its Sales) 

                I Am Generation Image (he was not)

Their published text was rife with doublespeak  with Internal code: 

                                                                                                           “(Generation Image) was born from a desire to understand people's relationships with their images . . . (they) are using their cameras as a tool to share what is important to them and each have the potential for significant impact.”

he got the “desire”   Their balance sheets  in the Red and in the Black

“relationships with their images”  he wondered what people would say about their relationships from photographs their Brownies and Instamatics  their “How easy is this? You point and shoot” took 

 

Yes  certainly they were many who aspired to Their ascribed "relationships"  though they were fewer and further between than any Corporation might concede

                                                                                                       but comon “using their cameras as a tool to share what is important to them and each have the potential for significant impact.”

Again  which cameras are those 

the cameras in cellphones  or Nikons

apparently  Selfies are "important"

although Consumers "significant impact" might be more in line with capturing something unexpected titillating and/or very possibly worth some much sought-after dog-eared cash

the throngs and throngs of opportune paparazzi invading the Public Space

 

or perhaps I Am Generation Image is the identifier of now untold generations of people here and in the future who will fall under Government, Police, Commercial and Private surveillance

no doubt spun  “for Your Benefit  for Your Protection  for Your Safety  (for Our Bottomline)"

for Those who hadnt a choice  neer a legitimate voice in the matter

seemingly  no One any longer has a Right to their private identity  or to anonymity

Everyone should give up their Civil Rights in order to make The Community more comfortable with them living in its midst

and somehow  not to Submit  make ones suspect

                                                                                  If you dont have something to hide

                                                                                               whats the problem

The Problem: Its none of your fucking business

Yes . . in a time of diminishing Rights Corporation Nikon steps in and attempts to enhance the Experience: I Am Generation Image

                                                              Ever see a dog swallow a bone and choke to death

I hope you dont
