one of the things that I do while I'm immersed in any media is to check how it's making me feel.
As I watch a TV show, I watch the commercials carefully. First to see what demographic I'm being lumped into. Second, to see what my reactions to the advertisements are. How did they make me feel, and what is my reaction to them. It's interesting to do the first one.. that's the first step to understanding that you are being researched and manipulated as a group and as an individual.
At least with printed material you have time to digest it. TV, I have to tape it, and now that I have Tivo... it's always getting rewound.
