A profound awareness that:

1.  Hype springs eternal in the hearts of marketeers.

2. All Great Art must be accompanied by reams of verbal diarrhea written
by an Initiated One of the Order of Deep Understanding, designed to
aid the great unwashed masses in perceiving The Message, lest they be
consigned to the pit of uncultured darkness and ignorance.

Don't read that stuff. It's bad for you.  Just look at the pictures.
