in every parent's life
when they have to sit down
with their young child
and explain:
"You know that toy
you want so badly -
the one you think about
as you fall asleep at night
and wish for as
you throw pennies
into the fountain
at the mall
Yeah..that one...
Well...
It's sold by a company
whose intent is to
brainwash you
using sophisticated
market research
that employs
child psychologists
and neuroimaging studies
all with the purpose
of undermining your
emotional,
intellectual and
spiritual well being
and your human relationships
so that you can better
serve them as a
sassy
materialistic
entitled
diva
who will increase
their profit margins
and whose
consumption addiction
will keep wages low
and working conditions
dangerous
in places like
Bangledesh"
I had that talk recently...
I think it went pretty well.
