Super Bowl Commercial Skewer-a-thon

tunabomber writes: "Those planning on tuning in to America's Patriotic Sports TV Event of the Year to catch the new commercials will no longer have to sit through all that football filler. PBS, of all networks, is airing a postgame show in which the subject of discussion is not the game, but the commercials. Super Commercials: A Mental Engineering Special is a beefed-up episode of the cultish Mental Engineering series where a panel of experts, including former Daily Show host Lizz Winstead and a Silicon Valley computer scientist, critique (read: eviscerate) Super Bowl commercials. There are also blurbs about this at The Kansas City Star and The St. Paul Star Tribune." One thing you'll be able to look forward to: fewer sock puppet commercials, more anti-terror commercials.

corporate mind control

advertising - corporate mind control. or at least a bad attempt at it.

I cannot wonder how many billions have gone down the drain in order to gain the market share that corporations want? How many billions has MS spent trying to convince folks they they are good?

The fact that MS has not fully succeeded demonstrates the actual effectiveness of such techniques against a group of people who can thing for themselves on occasion

except for the occasional marketing campaign for a favorite gameing system, etc.
