SELL SELL SELL!!!!!
I recently upgraded my MSN Messenger to the latest free version and much to my dissapointment a pop-up screen now follows every time I sign in. It isn't enough that MSN makes scads of money through software and hardware I guess. Everywhere I turn there is a billboard, flyer, electronic sign etc... My local ESSO station has video screens above the pumps now. I can ignore the visuals, but the audio is pumped out just loud enough to drown out traffic. Movie theaters allowing comercials as part of the previews has got me ticked off as well. Have you noticed that all of us need a lot of work? There is no advertising that says "Hey, you know what? You look good. Your weight is healthy. Your skin tone is wonderful. I love your hair. You smell good enough to get that girl without the aftershave. Our rye isn't that good, but for its price its a good buy. Ok, the beer parties won't be so glamorous and you probably won't score, but at least you'll be drunk for awhile which allows you a little escapism from your crappy life." And what are they really trying to sell us? The unattainable of course. It keeps us hungry for the next fix.
