Here's a few stats for you.....everyday 12 billion display ads in
newspapers, magazines,etc; 2 and a half billion radio commercials, 400,000 television commercials, and 7 million banner and search ads on the web. Don't forget all the junk mail
from credit card agencies looking to fleece more suckers with 23%
APR interest rates, and the telemarketers who disregard the do-not-call list.Companies are stamping their message on anything that stands still. Nothing is sacred. They now sponsor seemingly
every event, major and minor.They call bowl games by the corporate name.All car races except for the Indy 500 have a corporate name preceeding it. They sponsor schools to get
branding rights to lunchrooms and books.Urinals now have beer
company stickers to pee on. Elevators where I work(Sears Tower)
have commercials on little LCD tvs.
Big Brother is finally here, but in the form of omnipresent advertising. We live and breath it, and it becomes so pervasive
that we become one with it.

You cannot resist. Give in. It's warm inside here. So much easier once you just listen to the pretty ads. Buy buy buy. Don't think think think.

As long as you know it's there, and are aware of it, you can ignore it. Just ignore it.
