R.I.P. Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007)

It's far from perfect, but not a bad way to reflect upon someone who said, when asked how he wished to be remembered after his death, "What I am, I don't know. I am the simulacrum of myself." As you watch, try to recall that this is also a man who once wore a gold lamé suit with mirrored lapels while reading his poetry in a Las Vegas bar.
