Everyone knows that... «Корпорация "Попс"»
Williwaw14 августа 2011Everyone knows that advertisements are a form of “lie”, but they can live with that. At the end of the day it’s maybe just a kind of fantasy contract. The advertiser tells you that having a certain car will make you seem sophisticated and sexy, or frivolous and fun, and then you can buy whichever car matches your image, knowing that all your friends will have seen the same adverts as you and understand the ‘code’ – they will read the car like it was part of your barcode of identity. Many people actually enjoy this part of consumerism and, well, while it’s not what I would have in my own personal Utopia, that’s fine, up to a point.
The trouble is that while a lot of these lies are fun – for some people, anyway – this culture of lying means that some truly evil people can get away with horrible things and tell lies about it which people do not question.
