: See marketing has so enmeshed itself in our popular consciousness that advertising gimmicks are now international cultural symbols. Does this disturb anyone else?
things that DO disturb me:
-Christina Aguilera
-the way so many people just take Oprah's word for it
-blaming every problem on the evil, patriarchal dictatorship of the west
-the abuse of the terms 'love' and 'hate'
-men's 'health?' magazines
-Martha Stewart
-trusting latex too much
-Eminem
-instant 'media enforced' patriotism
-inclusive language (even Madeleine L'Engle warns against this)
-most books which are labeled 'spirituality' or 'healing'
-eroticism as entertainment
-the persistence of diversions
-the lack of MUSIC on MTV (MUSIC TELEVISION)
