So I stopped right there and scrolled back up to the posters name: Clavus. Oh, I get it. Only he could use the words "turgid miasma".

Do you mind if I use that line? I have about a dozen things I need to describe, and this will do nicely.

I am that guy. When I hear a clarinet version of "Bridge over Troubled Waters" or "Africa", I let loose. People look at me, and then realize that I am making a political statement against the corrupt organizations that turn our shopping experiences against us. They usually laugh with me, but sometimes I get funny looks.
And finally, extensive marketing research has been done, and you will buy more shit if you are distracted in the tiniest bit. Therefore, the onslaught of the senses will not only continue, but turn into the Orwellian nightmare that Clavus describes. We already have "Smell-o-Vision" in many supermarkets, as the vent of the bakery is purposefully directed to the front door, so that people are greeted with the smell of fresh pastries as they enter.
