Asking people to be more responsible for their own lives may not help them, but neither is asking them to become professional victims. I can't believe people let themselves be belittled with this trash. In essence what is being said is "here, you can't take care of yourself so let me do it". If that isn't control of another person I don't know what is. This country is full of sheep, because people let self important snobs control them. You are complaining about the corporations using mind control, at least their mind control is not in form of legislation, if you had your way a LAW would tell me what I can and cannot watch. If you want this kind of control please move to Europe, leave us FREE AMERICANS to make our own decisions, a right our fore fathers died for. I am fat and it has nothing to do with advertising or “mind control”. It has everything to do with liking to eat and making poor choices when I do. The weight I have lost has been from making better food decisions and exercise, which is the ONLY thing that will make ME loose weight. Quit looking at us poor helpless victims that are brainwashed by the big nasty corporations. It will not help me and it will insult me. I am a free American and I don’t need some pompous leaf eater turning me into a victim. I am more that capable of turning off the TV (and pretty much have done that.) We are doomed as a free society if we let well intentioned, misinformed snobs take our freedoms away. If you are one of the brainwashed and you are speaking from experience I am sorry for that, but don't try to take our freedoms away because you are weak. If you are not one of the brainwashed get over your arrogance, and let people live THEIR life as they see fit.
