If you were going to pay an organization to brainwash you, and you were going to spend 100 minutes a day listening and watching what that organization prepared for you, how much time would you spend investigating what this organization was going to brainwash you to do? If you are a thinker you would probably want to hear many stories about how other people’s lives were changed by this brainwashing. Maybe you would want to try it in small doses to see what it did to you. Maybe you would just say no because you don’t want to be brainwashed by anyone. I mean brainwashing is a scary thing. If you saw “The Manchurian Candidate” you know that brainwashing can make you do anything. I mean look at what the whacked out religions do with brainwashing.
The average American has already made this deal and they have done no research to find out about the organizations that prepare the content. If you look at the waking hours of most Americans you would find out that most of them actually spend more than 100 minutes a day.
I will quit browbeating the idea and just say it. The organizations that I am talking about are the companies that make commercials. You all knew that this is what I was getting at.
What are we doing? I MEAN, WHAT ARE WE DOING? Would we really choose to let advertisers inside our heads and program us?
Some of the info that I found is that the average american spends 5 hrs a day watching TV. Take this with 20 minutes an hour spent on commercials (actually more) and you get the 100 minutes. Advertisers spend huge amounts of money making the commercials resonate with us. The music and images are created and edited to get you to buy products. Their makers don’t consider what these creations are doing to our self image. Did anyone you know get their significant other a brand new car for Christmas? What percentage of americans could afford this?
How do you feel about yourself knowing that you can’t do this for your loved ones?
Think about it.
