Wow, really? Name anything heavily advertised on corporate media.

Insurance, defense contractors, pharmaceuticals, home security systems, cars, body spray, McDonalds, Coke, politicians; it's all fear, status, greed. It's explicitly taking advantage of our vulnerabilities with every combination of precision and blunt force, to sell pointless, stupid, toxic shit. Put on your They Live sunglasses. The planet is burning.

Let's advertise carrots on TV. Let's advertise public transport, and public healthcare. Let's advertise free fucking college.
