I always think that advertisers pander to the thick elements of society. Everywhere I look adverts are trying to tell people that this image of beauty and confidence is only the price of their product away. My rule tends to be that if it's an advert, then it is probably lying to me on some level.
The thing that worries me is while I can see all these things in adverts where they appeal to the autonomous TV tray generation, what have they got going on that I don't notice? What might be working on me, that I am not even aware of?
Be alert! Your country needs lerts!
Think I'm paranoid about advertising? Or is this level of cynicism just enough to keep my mind free from their preying claws?
