Does Marketing BS Bother You?

Does marketing bother me?
When I go to the bakery just for a loaf of stretch bread, after taking the dog for her annual check up this morning, and it makes me drool, it affects me.

Ya had to go past another loaded case of goodies with the fancy cupcakes before this one. Smelled good too.

The entire auto industry makes enormous profits convincing us that we really need that upscale model with many features we hardly need.

This thread suggests that marketing hasn’t always been with us & always been annoying.

Marketing will always exist. No need to type out long rants about it (although they should ban advertisements for prescription drugs like they do in other countries)

Yup, the dang snake marketed the apple to Eve who shared it with Adam and then the party was over in Eden...

I agree. I would add booze and gambling to that too.

said it before, will mention it again.....whiteface social media photos have an amazing "whiter than baby's @ss" filter to them. They make it look like an infinite pristine powder paradise every day of the week, all season long. Once you see it you can never un-see it. It's laughable, really.
