Manipulation

I've been hearing wailing on this issue all my life from groups like that. How horrible that our malleable and innocent brains are being controlled by Evil Korporations forcing us to do their bidding! Some groups became actively demented, including that guy who thought the word "sex" was in every advertisement, and only he was brilliant enough to see it.

Commercials today are nothing compared to what we watched when I was a kid. Hell, Fred Flintstone was trying to sell me cigarettes.

This organization is no different, being run by the same gaggle of busybodies and half-baked Marxists who firmly believe that the only propaganda you should be hearing is theirs.

Most kids are quite sophisticated about the reality of what they see in commercials. Ironically, as they get older their bullshit filters seem to get worse rather than better.

Meanwhile the statist-controlled education system pumps toxic crap into our childrens' heads to the applause of these organizations. Which may have something to do with those failing bullshit filters.
