Marketing was the root of all evil when I was a tot, and methinks it still is.They (the marketers) seek to ruthlessly promote their own agenda, which is not culturally refined, but rather geared towards monetary gain.
Borrowing a line from "Frontline" the marketers are in a feedback loop with the "mooks" and "midriffs" that spuns each other into lower and lower degradations.
What makes this all go round is of course money. The root of all.
What makes this more pronounced now than say 200 years ago? Mass communications. The ability to reach literally millions simultaneously.
The cure? Kill your TV.
