Advertising & the End of the World

Interestingly, he ignores family, progeny and inheritance. Families have planned for generations in the future through ownership.

When you remove private property (like Soviet Union, USA, much of Europe) you remove the interest in property protection. If I can't pass on a clean land to my children, I move to focus on how to make the most - we have manufactured very short-sighted temporal thinking through government seizure, taxes, theft and a culture that knows nothing is reliable.

I seen a commercial today on t.v. about the end of the world. A raffle is being placed for the human race,the winners get to stay in some "safe" building when the year 2012 comes. If anything these stupid commercials will kill us all! So many people will get depression from these commercials! Stupid scientists -___-

this place is going belly up dude nothing will change our course except devastation

"We need to make fundamental changes".

Please start with a haircut and eyebrow wax.

Thank you marcus3379, we needed a prime example of advertisings effect on the juvenile ignorant ones. If you couldnt see past an appearance you dissaprove to see his message than youre in for a world of hurt.

Sure, WHY NOT saturate people's viewing environments with aggressive, ignorant, abusive, mental illness-causing, moral retardation-causing ADVERTISING? Why not?




So sad that our so-called "free market" capitalistic system has become nothing but an obvious TOOL OF WEALTH whose main purpose is SOCIAL CONTROL...an obviously phony, corrupt system in which ACTUAL QUALITY and competitiveness no longer make any difference...in which legitimate, detailed criticism is REPRESSED AND CENSORED.

Funny you say that, but I bet you have an iPhone, right? and how do You use it? And why did you buy it....the magic word is....BUY!

Wrong. I don't give a crap about iphones. Besides, the existence of advanced gadgetry in and of itself means little.

The really interesting questions involve more subtle issues...such as the specific manner in which the communications networks are controlled/manipulated...and by whom...net neutrality...ideology-based censorship and repression vs true free speech, dwindling public forums...privately owned commercial forums that are merely pretending to be public, such as myspace or youtube...

Have you noticed those new advertisements that are being placed directly on top of the little youtube video windows. What an improvement!

It's important to realize that we are in a time in history which we have never seen before considering the population size. With the technological advancements we have achieved within the last two hundred years we take for granted the ease at which we survive as a species. This in mind, we must consider advertisements as an influence in this massive society as a means of not only influence, but how that influence affects our lifestyles, opinions, and environmental impact.
