We can all now vulgarise society

Bill Bernbach once said: "All of us who professionally use mass media are the shapers of society. We can vulgarise that society. We can brutalise it. Or we can help lift it on to a higher level."

I think we can now safely remove the words 'professionally' and 'mass' from that quote.

Now anyone who publishes on the internet or creates any kind of public content -- even through small actions like commenting on a blog or rating a review on Amazon -- now has the power to vulgarise society.

Use it wisely.
