<title>Mores &amp; the cultural prerogative of space race advertising</title>
<description>Lately I&apos;ve become increasingly addicted to iTunes radio. Not only for the exposure to a bevy of great indie artists from around the world, but also for the opportunty to play cultural &quot;peeping tom&quot; by way of the advertisments broadcasted throughout the various regions. The following are excerpts from a recent Indie 103.1 (L.A.) broadcast:</description>
