I had an English professor once who said that the folks who work in advertising are the smartest in any business because they know how to manipulate the public better than anyone else. I had another professor who did a unit on advertisements with us, and she was all about how evil advertisers are. She would take some seemingly innocent ad in a magazine and tell us how the bastards were manipulating the hell out of us. I think she was right, though.

Yep, she is right IMO. We've seen it so much, we hardly notice it anymore. That is what is detrimental. (not to mention the effects on children)

Did you read
"The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf, to back up those points? I've always found that book apropos.

No, it's actually on my Wish list at Amazon. I have read similar books, though, like The Body Project.

Oh, and listening to "Over My Head" from the Live disc.

"When The Crowds Are Gone" by Savatage (aka Trans Siberian Orchestra) from their "Ghost In the Ruins" release

I dedicate this song to Dawn Oliva (widow of Criss Oliva), Who passed away on Jan.11,2005...At last Dawn & Criss (Criss Oliva was the lead guitarist in Savatage until his untimely death from a drunken driver as Dawn & Criss drove to a show that Savatage was to have played in FL.) are finally together!

"When the crowds are gone
And I'm all alone
Playing a final song
Now that the lights are gone
Turn them on again
One more time for me my friend
Turn them on again

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And hope and I scheme
To the lure of the night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray

As they change me for years
I can no longer pay

And the lights
Turn them off my friend
And the ghosts
Well just let 'em in
'Cause in the dark
It's easier to see"-"When the Crowds are Gone"
