Also, let's not fool ourselves here. This happens in new/social media, too. Red pill I’ve noticed recently that I’m looking more and more at media and noticing when I’m being marketed to.

We learned all about how advertisers make you want the stuff you want, and it's made me a much smarter consumer. It was considered a 'fluff' course by my guidance counselor, but it should be a requirement im today's ad flooded world. One of the best classes I took in hs was called Language of the Media.

The focus is more on women's portrait in the media that what you are talking about which is a broader understand of the media/marketing bag-of-tricks, but there is some interesting bits there that have relevance to what you are talking about: http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/dsef07/t5.aspx?id=7375 Cheers, - J.

One thing we learned was the tactics advertisers use. Two I remember are repetition (e.g. those annoying Head On ads) and fear of missing out on something ("Hurry in! Sale ends Monday!"). I think the chapter on advertising really helped make us all more discerning consumers.
