Oxford Reading: Shopping & F*cking

I found this reading to be very disturbing; the sexually-violent content was too much.
What I got out of the story, though, was that no matter how much money you have you can't buy happiness. You can have all the money in the world to go shopping but doesn't mean when you get home your going to be happy. Drugs in the context of this story, numbed the character Mark, because he is also unhappy. This story seems very depressing.
I'm not sure, but was this written to shake people up in the British world, to say, "Hey, we have a problem arising in our community we need to do something to correct Europe before it goes corrupt?"
If anyone else has any comments on this story please comment I am interested in what other people thought?!
