Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful replies. :) You guys rock!

I didn't have tv for a long time abotu a year ago. Like Thorny, my tv was used mostly for watching dvds. Even now, I don't see a lot of television programming because I'm usually at school or...well, asleep. :) When I do turn the thing on, I find it's either stupid, infuriating or just a big time waster. I just feel like advertising is so much a part of our daily lives anymore that we almost don't notice it. Even if you don't watch real tv there are innumerable radio and print ads that get to us all the time. It's so hard to cut through all the crap sometimes. (sigh)

Bazu, thanks for the link. Lot's to think about there...

Oh, and Thorny, I think you should totally paint whatever inspiring words you like on your ceiling! As long as you can paint it all back to that thrilling Navaho White that all apartment dwellers know and love. :)

Another reason (i think i'm up to 1,613 now) why i don't watch, or miss, TV. That was quite a little video there. So sad. I'm certainly going to make sure i don't buy their products. I'm not sure if have any... but i'll be sure to look. I wish companies were all like Bronner's...

P.S. i LOVE this post. YOU ARE SO ON THIS, Meesh. Thank you for caring...

Great, thought provoking writing, as usual, meesh. I am so NOT a Unilever fan lately. Marketing seems to be so omnipresent and I find myself victim to it without realizing.

Thanks for your post. I do feel a little bit media...

Thanks for your post. I do feel a little bit media-saturated at the moment... I lived for a long time without television, so now I really feel the ads and jingles enter and take up residence in my brain! Ack!

It's interesting you brought up Unilever and their, uh, mixed messages about female empowerment. I was wondering if you have read this article on Slate and what you think of itq?

Ugh. Those ads are awful. I hadn't seen them before (we don't so much have a "TV" as a screen for the DVD player - grin), how disappointing.

Frustrating as well, really. I bought some SunSilk for hubby to try and he really likes it. Either he needs to find something else that works, or I guess he needs to join the "Brunette Team." snort.

P.S. I read the Marianne Williamson quote you have on your blog every time I come here, and it's been making me think about many, many, MANY things. Like, "How bad will it annihilate my security deposit on this apartment if I paint that on the ceiling of my bedroom?" grin.

I love your presentation. You present a good arguement. And as for the redhead thing, yep, that's my flavor this month. Love and miss you.
