Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
And that is the secret of advertising, make the customer need something even if he doesn't know what it's for.
Modern advertising exploits our subconscious reproductive circuits way too much, just take a look at how many ads there are with beautiful women, happy families or babies (at least that's what our advertising is like). I suspect all this consumerism came about because people were having less children - for those of us in our 30s, no children is becoming the standard - and had to compensate for it in some way.
