We know we’re being sold. Everything has a label slapped on it and so commercials try to distinguish themselves through association with certain values. Why do we choose product A over B? Is it simply because of some preconceived notion that seems to have little or nothing to do with what we think the product represents in our lives?
I heard of a study where people buy products as representations of who they are, except the problem is no one is listening. We know material goods are worthless and expendable, yet we continuously try to keep up with the Jones, wasting money and effort on something that can never really help fulfill our lives.
I’m tired of being sold, and its hard to criticize commercials as being ridiculous or stupid because that is their intent, they simply want to place their name in our minds as name recognition goes far in our determination of what to purchase. No matter what it seems that they win as the only way to beat such a process is to do the research ourselves and therefore buy the product that is best for our needs, but do we really want to waste time and effort just to spite these companies?
Fuck
