>>Ultimately, I think mass media just gives the masses what they want, rather than controlling them..
Mass media TELLS the consumers what they NEED and that they are inadequate if they do not have it. It is more obvious in the electronics industry and I sometimes catch myself buying into the nonsense. Sometimes I DON'T catch myself until it is too late.
More and more sensory input is devoted to keeping us distracted from what really goes on. Buy this, buy that, watch this, watch that, did you see this, did you see that... it goes on and on and keeps us occupied and distracted from more important things. No one can stand up for our rights or institute change while sitting on their asses watching Survivor or playing with the newest gadgets and games. Does that seem coincidental?
I am extremely interested in subliminal advertising and I don't immediately see the clear messages in the previous pictures. I can see odd bits but can't put them together. hmmm.
