Description Google says, "The psychodynamic core of addiction is the repetition-compulsion, i.e. the addicts repeat the same self-destructive behaviours over and over, in spite of their personal resolve not to do it." Experience this feedback loop of Whitney Houston fandom and YouTube hysteria where Lucas mimics, morphs and manipulates a 4-minute Whitney Houston video into an hour-long, low-budget SPECTACULAR. Come to the Whitney Houston Addicts Anonymous meeting and be complicit in the bad behaviour. Everything disintegrates. All that remains is, Whitney.
