bv said "The thing is that advertising is a lot more psychologically powerful than advertisers would want us to know. When things are portrayed as colorful and attractive...."

For example. Ever notice how the CocaCola ads tend to show people being incredibly hyperactive? (No doubt due to all that caffeine and sugar) Well, then we are told that adult hyperactivity is actually bad, and Big Pharma will give us drugs to fix that too.

Argh,
