Re: All you need to run the world is...a bell!



"Porn can sell anything. Porn plus an ad on the corner of every block
can sell tits ... err I mean ICE to Eskimos..."

The Term for Today is: 
MEDIA SATURATION 

In the new concrete jungle, turf wars are fought between corporations.
The spray paint tags are gone. In their place, gangsters from Madison
Avenue tag every empty space with advertisements. No matter where your
eye wanders, it can't escape their visual pollution. The environment
in your mind is being polluted every day by the harmful matter of
commercial exploitation.

Advertising is no longer a business of introducing potential consumers
to goods and services. It's been transformed into a business that
attempts to squeeze its way into your every waking moment and permeate
your subconscious mind by keeping their images fixed in front of your
eyes, and filling your ears with corporate slogans ALL THE TIME until
it's absolutely impossible to not have opinions about their products.
They want INSIDE. They want to stay in your thoughts long enough and
often enough to alter how you think, what you value, and most
importantly, what you do with your money. Their whole industry thrives
on changing things that you don't think about into things that you
feel that you can't live without. They have a lot more money than you
do, but it's your money they need to keep them wealthy, and you give
it to them. Whether you give it of your own free will is debatable.

They know your pleasure centers. They know how to coddle your ego.
They know how to transform a simple pair of overpriced plastic shoes
into something that, regardless of cost, you desire regardless of your
financial means, and know how to train your peers to covet them. They
turn a trip to a crappy fast food restaurant into an amusement park
ride, and paint your banker as caring about your wellbeing more than
your grandparents do. They want to train you to think that three
months salary is a reasonable price for a trinket. They want to train
you to associate a new sportscar with freedom, even though you'll need
to work a second job to afford it. You're being trained like one of
Pavlov's dogs to want what they tell you to want, using the same means
he used: repetition... repetition... repetition...

Ding! Ding! Ding! Drool. 

This is funny as hell... ;)
