Advertising is something that was part of the History of mankind since the creation of commerce. And oh boy it's getting something huge nowadays. The world is now full of ads everywhere you look: movies, games, books, food, webs, work… And that is something that (of course) is affecting society in a bad way. 

Let me be clear: I do realize we are living in a capitalist world and that we all humans live in order to satisfy our consumerism and all that communist stuff, but we have a huge problem with that thanks to commercials and adverts.

Allow me (as always) to put an example: sometimes you feel hungry when you are watching TV, right? And then you listen to your inner thoughts and you think “I should buy some of that food that was announced before”. You know, that lovely ad with the catchy tune, the fancy slogan and the gorgeous woman that was eating… chocolate. And there you go: you just fell in the net of the expert in advertising, who also knows that you are going to believe that if you get that sweet piece of chocolate you will also be able to get that sweet piece of… quality.

We buy the things that TV want us to buy. We are just mere test dummies for the big brands: they made us to get new products and things we don't really need at all just because they put a piece of junk with flashy lights and people having the time of their lives just by turning on a vacuum cleaner.

Do I agree with commercials being part of our culture? Yes, of course. Do I have any idea about how to put an end to this? Yes, but I don't think the world is ready for a post-apocalyptic dystopia. Maybe in a few years...
