a nightmare would be a life without you

The GREATEST of ALL EVILS
Thursday, July 28, 2005 11:10 AM

I'm living in the age of corny advertisements that can pass off as uber-cool, fast-food brands marketed and disguised as healthy meal choices and when lies have become real.

Yeah. Face it, marketing is about bringing **** to the potential customers face and yet not being able to smell the stench. In fact the **** starts smelling, "not that bad" after all.

Its pretty weird that we all mile around in school and get told off by teachers for telling lies, making up stories and pretending we didn't bring our homework when day in and out it seems as if lying is the only way to survive and thrive in this day, this age.

I think my brain is screwed up very badly by this book called POPCO which is basically about the perils of living as well as the evils of marketing.

It has made me look at everything with this new perception. Its like blogging is a fad because of marketing. Someone took it, made it explode and everyone is onto it. Same thing for everything thats successful. All mind tricks doing their job.

I mean, its true. If you don't believe me marketing is pure work of a diabolical evil genius or at least a group of diabolical evil geniuses we now call a marketing group or a 'focus group' in companies... Take a look at the music industry.

All it takes is ONE single TEENY WEENY (maybe) 'set up' website (which is part of an elaborate plan) to hail a certain up-and-coming pop group, convince ONE VERY POPULAR KID in any school (most likely rich one) that its the COOLEST thing to happen and BOOM! Everything falls in place. You've got the next 5566, F4, Ryan Cabrera. Whatever!

Which is why theres all that crap going around about no REAL talent in the music industry. My mom agrees with this all the time.

Seriously. Its EVIL. PURE EVIL. Marketing that is. Its a complicated web of lies which we buy all the time because really, we don't really notice anyway. We're humans, we don't like complicating things. We just assume that since other people like something, we should like it to and so we should invest in it or buy it since everyone is. Thats already getting yourself screwed by marketing. The next scenario is when you think you're different from everyone else and then thats when you become LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Haha. Think about it. The people who want to be as different as possible from everyone else is the constant target of those marketing people. Heh. Whether you like it or not, marketing is here to screw you and your life! Making you buy the things you don't need when you don't need them most.

Heh. Which is why I wanna be a part of it in time. Heh. Its like screwing peoples brains without em knowing. You're a victim too, as much as I am and the rest of the world. We think something is cool because of marketing and that makes the industry involved VERY VERY RICH. HEH. HEH. HEH.

Interesting.

I like that book. It also teaches me quite a bit about maths and theories. Theres even one about us all being a computer game like an online RPG and that we have a bunch of people maintaining us like we maintain our online games and that it goes on and on and on in an endless loop. Hmm... ... I like that book.

Confused a little, maybe more than a little, okay, I admit, I'm REALLY CONFUSED with all this shit,
