Bill Hicks was right - marketing is perpetuation of the illusions that make our society what it is today and Caity points it out very concisely. Question everything.

Some of these... Are just wrong.

Honestly, men need exercise. So do women. As I tell my children all the time: You are not just a mind and you are not just a body. You are both and both need to be exercised regularly for you to be healthy.

The issue is now more than ever the classes conflict. Money talks, maybe not for you, but that is the real question and still electing filthy rich guys since birth for presidente and not seeing that those dont know what is to be a poor or middle class. Everything else is polítical marketing :) distraction and confusion in the media, audiences and rich companies doing business as usual.

Text of an person who has not studied, nor knows well what marketing does. Thinks that it was marketing that made tobacco or coffee the daily habits of so many people. Do you really think it was marketing that created a trend? It is obvious that has no idea or experience in companies and businesses, but an academic. Try to market bad products at the wrong prices and you will immediately understand the limitations of marketing. Start selling lemonades in front of your house and don't put the right amount of sugar or quality lemons. Better yet, make lemonades without lemons and do the best marketing you can and analyze the results, if you have them.

Excellent! Wonderful yet very sad and true.

My fav: Without extensive marketing it would never have occurred to people that being overwhelmed at work means they need better stress management instead of better unions.

You are my hero.
