It would seem to be human to either accept or deny, trust or distrust, but not completely question the validity of, something that is constantly broadcast on the television, like commercials. If it becomes ingrained into your thinking it can be quite motivational. Many folks don't like the interruption provided by commercials so they do something else while they are on. Others sit right through them, some paying attention and some just blocking it out, or trying to do so. It has become quite difficult to block out the modern commercial's intended goal of creating a memory of their product in the mind of the viewer. And then there is always subliminal advertizing, which is working just below your sensory threshold, but probably getting close to the same results. Either way you look at the television, when you turn it on you agree to submit yourself, and your proverbial round file, to this onslaught of misinformation. Remember GIGO, the acronym for Garbage in equals Garbage out? Modern television has become useful only because of advertizing. There is a difference between being pacified without your knowledge, and submitting to torture.
