advertising because it works

What insight do you provide? The fact that these corporations use these tools to advertise these products says less about how stupid and how much they lie...rather because it works. The fact remains that the majority of advertisments are aimed at increasing sales to the market segment that purchases the equipment. Your argument is silly because you are attaching the wrong side...it is not the fact that the corporations lie or are stupid, it is based on the fact that the majority of consumers are wrapped up in a world that does not consist of global events, news, philosophy, art etc....your real disgust should be with the public, not the corporation...they are only serving a need that exists..however repulsive that may seem to you...it is always interesting to read your cynical and sarcastic retorts that are not very well thought out.

Perhaps we should all buckle down and view the world you see....that way we could at least agree on what perspective you would enjoy.

Rather than bitch and complain about the perils and evils of big business why don't you get off your ass and do something positive.

The educated middle.
