Advertising, is it bad for you.
Why are we so stupid. The "influencers" are always at it, feeding the public with misinformation about one thing or another.
The NHS, prior to the start of dismantling and privatising the institution has been under a barrage of criticism, feeding the public with a story after story to soften them up for the cuts and closures.
The BBC is another target for the "privatises" as they damn and scandalise one of the worlds finest institutions in their quest to feed the BBC to the advertisers, cutting off one of the last vestiges of uncluttered media broadcasting.
The pleasure of watching hours of unhindered viewing is under threat by the makers of mind-stupefying, repetitive adverts specially designed to clog our brains with tripe specifically manufactured to encourage us to spend what little we have.
As you flick from one channel to the next they are all at it. Pumping hour upon hour with questionable dialogue, claiming the impossible and only escaping criminal prosecution for 'misrepresentation' by using the Goldman Sacks rebuttal, "the trade was between consenting adults". It's mind numbing have to sit through five minutes of repeated sales talk to watch fifteen minutes of the program ensuring they have you captured.
Only the Public Broadcaster gives us what we switched on for. Unless of course you are befuddled and stimulated by seeing adverts showing partially clad young women cavorting across the 40inch wide screen in High Definition.
Hang on, have I been missing something ???
