An open letter to America’s 1%: you had better hope violent protesters stay stupid.

61. I have noticed that the ad monster has followed kids online...

10 years ago, the internet was mainly free of multimedia and advertising. Hell, 5 years ago you could freely move about from site to site without being bludgeoned with ads every 15 to 30 seconds or god forbid, page changes.

The advertising industry has taken basic psychology and turned it into a weapon of mass distraction.

They did it to radio and print first, then motion pictures, then television and phones and now the internet. I have no doubt whatsoever that electronic chip entertainment - something not too far off from the premise of "Total Recall" or "The Matrix"; a chip that directly stimulates specific brain functions to create the illusion of actually experiencing something - with be the ultimate end game. The entire history of the 20th century is a long tale of the public being easily manipulated into working longer and harder for less and less while being bombarded with messages to buy more things we do not truly need.

Denis Miller, back when he was a comedian and not a right wing shill, used to talk about how the future of entertainment would make crack cocaine look like candy. We're closing in on that time faster and faster...
