IN FOCUS...

I think it is now safe to say that I have sufficiently narrowed down my scope to something that I can digest as well as have enough to work with. I would basically like to focus on the affect of commercialism and corporate advertising culture on society. How does it affect our perceptions of our selves and the world around us? We see advertising and sponsorships everyday. We see product placements in movies, hell MTV is a frickin' channel dedicated to broadcasting the newest fad sponsored by corporate America. The people that used to sell us products have moved far beyond these boundaries and have started marketing to us the ideals that we think we should live by; beauty, safety, fun, all sold on telling us how ugly, scared and bored we all are.
