Okay, I admit it. There is no evolutionary component to sexual attraction.

149. Then why are people on average gaining weight, instead of getting thinner?

Yes, the point of the ads is to sell stuff, but you are concerned with the effects, right?

I just don't buy that people are so easily programmed.... when they are, it's by institutions that have thousands of years of practice at it, like the Church. And even then sexuality is the one area where that programming often fails, and backfires.

Also, I haven't "labeled" you anything.

I do believe that the answer to anything- music, art, media, etc. that one does not like, is to create that which one does. Don't wait for someone else to provide it. The internet, bless its pointy little head, has provided unprecedented ability for an ever-larger number of people to have a voice. No one is being shut down, far from it, and despite undeniable media corporate consolidation (a problem, to be sure) the fact is that the media universe, the menu, is richer and more varied than ever before.

As for TV ads, they're dying anyway, and not because of sex OR criticism, but because of something called the DVR.
