Lead up to an ad by suspensful programming, creating a sense of need.
Then interrupt to advertise something, creating the sense of buy this and you'll feel better.
Oldest trick in the book, yet people still fall for it.

They strive to make people think that they are incomplete without said product. It doesn't matter how they do it (thin models, celebrity spokesmodel, whatever), they are creating insecurity by playing to a very base needy flaw in the human psyche, It is exploitation, and it is sick!
