Did you always use the same dog?

[ThoughtBubbler]

@lessemo Yes, we always try to put Fable, our mascot, in our videos. Can you name the videos where she's missing?

[CmacD87]

The title "junk thought" is just oh so ironic.

[monkeyproducer]

PRETTY NEW TACTIC THERE LEFT WING HIPSTER DOUCHEBAGS

[RaughPower]

Pretty much everything in this video is absolutely true. Governments should gradually phase out advertising. Employ the jobless workers as recycling sorters and pay those workers the same as before. If their were workers to 'sort' recycling then nearly all waste could be recycled. Firstly they'd need to kill corporate personhood. Anyone who's afraid to get their brains burning with info like this needs to stop walking around with their hands on their junk and their eyes on their wallets.

it´s ok but 2 "cursi" he says.

[videocanone]

Its not just advertisement, its the media in general. People spend too much time plugged into their phones, computers, i-pods, kindles, tv's, at the movies, etc.

We are becoming a world addicted to techno junk and the false relationships technology creates. We spend more time dealing with people through technology and too little in face to face relationships, or with nature.

They criticize the message, not the delivery. Never did they object to the use of psychological tactics, only the means to which corporate entities exploit them. They object the to the end result, and I am inclined to agree. There are many situations in which average people are damaged by extended TV/videogame exposure and exposure to a materialistic lifestyle. This video is definitely biased. That is inherent because it is attempting to convey a point.

[RunningP123456]

What this guy fails to realize is that the general public gets more and more cynical towards advertising and the mass media as it continues to surround us. Fucking redundent video

[hahahahehehee]

how can someone make a video of this style?

[Voracle]

I'm voting this video down for being misleading. If you want to learn how to think, start by stop listening to others telling you how you should think.
