Anyway Cynthetiq, I think the value in the article by Michael Novak lies in the art-historical references regarding the derivation and esthetic context of the library of pop-culture images that are employed today.
As I've given more art history lectures in my life than I can recall, I have not taken the time to catalog the references Novak lists above. I thought his article could serve as an introduction to that topic, so as it's developed we will have a common frame of reference.
There are some huge problems inherent in the types of imagery that are being mass produced for the general consumption of a population poorly prepared to comprehend their lineage and ultimate effect.
More (inevitably) later on this...
