Advertising!
The Corporation has finally hit the area I hate the most: Advertising and marketing! Whee!
What’s his face was totally correct about manufacturing wants/needs. Corporations spend zillions of moolah manipulating people into thinking they want stuff they don’t want. Then we have those morons who say that violent video games and harsh music/tv/movies have NO EFFECT on anyone. Gotta love that when advertising is a billion dollar industry BECAUSE we’re so easily influenced by everything we witness.
They get into the whole “censorship” thing and say that violence, graphic sex and the like should never be censored because that’s baaaad, but then look at Adbusters which exists to censor advertisements? Seems like they think censorship is bad when it’s something they want you to see that’s being censored (because you NEED to see naked women in films and people’s heads being ripped off — manufactured needs all the same!), and it’s good when it’s something they deem “dangerous” (like for instance those zany Ten Commandments!). Innnteresting, no?
