Subject: Deep(shallow) into it and confused


Here I stand, trying to take a sip from the wide open fire hydrant.

I am enjoying the recents conversations as of late, but I am new to
Baudrillard and well . . . may I ask for some concrete examples (if
possible).

Hyperreality: 

* Why is it hyperreal when Bob Dole leans against a fence? (maybe I
understand, maybe I dont) Previewing tourist attractions before your
vacation via the Web as a preview to the actual experience seems to fall
into a hyperreal experience, but I am not sure on that either. Any
thoughts?

Real:

* When does life move from real to hyperreal? 

Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts and keep up the excellent
discussion!!

-Kevin
