We sleep walk through the bombardment of advertising, unaware of its power. Some people say that they are immune to advertising, but they are wrong. The corporate world would not pay all that money if there was any doubt that it pays off handsomely. It is everywhere, in your face, in your ear, it shapes our culture, it earns billions for the corporate world, it shades people's political leaning. It is propaganda for an economic system that feeds the fat cats, but we the people have no real control over it, it uses us, and not for our benefit.

A brilliant exposure and encapsulation of what THEY are doing to us-and it's hard to escape unless you're Amish. TV, Radio, Paper, Letter Box etc.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think the answer is tuning out-getting tuned in is the key. Knowledge of the system and how it works. Do you really need that Dyson vacuum cleaner or plasma TV?. Nope, think inside the square where your money is. Guard it well, you earned it. You never know what's around the corner.
