THE MESSAGE:
We have created a complete culture of commercial psychology that makes watching, seeing and listening to a TV program a bit of a frustrating experience. Wouldn't life be much more enjoyable if we only had pay TV with no commercials? Would you pay an extra $10 a month for services that would allow us to be freed from these curses. Or do you use these forced breaks to allow you to visit the kitchen, snack cupboard or washroom?
There are University and college programs called "marketing". I suspect the students accepted into these programs are trained (indoctrinated) into the concepts of preying on the human weakness of 'want' vs need'.
WHAT ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL ADS?
Companies pay a premium and spend more to produce the newest, best, funniest or gimmickyest (is that a word) ads. People actually anticipate watching them and some even vote on which one is the best!
We are bombarded repeatedly with a variety of voices on tv or radio promoting products from to air fresheners to zippers.

| YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF YOU SPEND MORE ON A SHOTGUN & TRUCK THAN EDUCATION |
THE PROTESTER VOICE
"IDLE NO MORE"
Maybe I could find a better place to live than this crummy reservation. A place where I could get a job and not worry about the crappy school. I don't even like fish or moose meat!
THE HEALING VOICE
THE VOICE STARTS SLOWLY:
"USE 'STIF FIT' FOR PERSISTANT MUSCLE WEAKNESS"
Don't take it if you've ever had the flu or if you still have 2 legs. It could cause bank account depletion and jammed medicine cabinets,
THE VOICE SPEED INCREASES DRAMATICALLY:
Side effects may include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, headache, fever, facial blisters, rash, ingrown toe nails, infertility, ass pain, enlarged breasts, brain shrinkage, kidney failure even death
THE VOICE SLOWS DOWN:
Talk your doctor and if he still prescribes it....... CHANGE DOCTORS.
THE PATRIOTIC VOICE
"THERE ARE INDICATIONS OF POLITICAL CRAP HAPPENING ON 'AMERICAN SOIL'."
That's quite a lot of crap!
THE WEATHERMAN VOICE
"HERE IS YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST"
"..... WAIT, THIS JUST IN"
WIARTON WILLIE FOUND DEAD. THE LYING LITTLE BASTARD
THE WHINY VOICE
RACIAL PROFILING
YO WASSUP BRO?
THE QUESTION:
How can they brainwash people into buying something, that they really don't want, don't care about and don't need?
ANSWER: Annoy them; use incessant repetition; make them feel inferior or left out; promise huge benefits etc.
