I have a friend who was in the Marketing/Advertising industry. He was a big corporate guy who became sick (literally) when he realized how deceiving this industry was. I met him after he had left the industry and in his own words he said: "I used to work for the devil himself!"
I do not watch TV much, but I can see his point of view. I think too many Americans take the bait and believe everything it is said about new drugs. We are a very gullable society that has been trained (or should I say "brainwashed") to accept what we see on TV, read on magazines, or find on the Internet. Sex sells! Size sells! A "quick fix" sells! The collapse of our economy is the result of societal dynamics that was been shaped by the advertising world all across the board.
