suffering commercially
Commercials made up by people in ad agencies, shoveled through the media, bought and paid for by fat cats in their desire to create more revenue for their companies, really do have an effect on all of us. Ads are so pervasive these days that we do not have to be conscious of them all to get what they are selling. Our brains pick up everything and we remember the colors in the ads on the highways just as easily as we remember the bearded guy who sells orange clean between 2 and 7 in the morning. I even have some of that shit myself. It smells like warm, oily oranges simmering on a stove way up high in the mountains. No walls, no cabin; just a stove in the woods next to a really big tree filled with chiggers and mites. Commercials and media ruins people for generations as the successful adman buys yet another shiny new thing to display his power. Meanwhile, people in society actually believe their bullshit. We all suffer in our beliefs.
