“And when comfort is what we want, one of the most powerful tonics alternative medicine offers is the word 'natural.'

“Such techniques, including meta-discursive stuff, self-reference, irony, black humor, cynicism, grotesquerie and shock, it would be safe to say that television or televisual values rule the culture.
