I agree completely.
It just seems like an argument that goes 'round and 'round 'till it makes my head spin. Ultimately, I think, so what? I'm not that deep that I need to take more than a class or two in the effects of the media on our psyches/behavior. Whether it's sex in an ice cube, or Pepsi as a product placement in a film, I don't care. I see them I think, oh how obvious, and I go on.
So there's nothing new under the sun, ad nauseum, so what?
So what if at age four or five I fell in love with the
feel and the look of a Mustang, and 38 or 9 years later, I purchased one?
I guess I'm just shallow, 'cause I've got other things to think about, and even our discussing this is illustrating the effect of the media on us, so I'm stopping now.
