Marketing is invasive and insidious. Fear and hate are two basic marketing themes. Marketing is far more effective than people realize at selling products and ideas.

At its most basic marketing exploits human nature.

I agree that it exploits, but it cannot force someone to do something they didn’t want to do.

Invasive? You mean you can’t turn away from it, or mute the TV or change the channel?

Like the man said, no one put a gun to your head.

Once knew a guy whose father was an exec at ADT.

He, the guy, wasn’t thrilled with the ADT commercials running back in the mid 1980s.
