Advertising is EVIL
I recently did a persuasive essay for english on the fact that advertising has become too extreme. I found out a whole lot of information that I didn't know before. Thank goodness for Adbusters, they're a real eye-opener. Anyway, I found out about this advertising research company in San Fransisco called "Bright House Institute for Thought". They are using MRI (brain) scans to find out how people's brains react to different commercials. Using this technology, it has become possible to leave subliminal messages on people to make them buy things without them even knowing they've been brainwashed. Pretty crazy stuff.
