Thanks for all the pings - I thoroughly enjoy each and every thread!

The Associated Press has had the pernicious effect of homogenizing the newspaper business by promoting whatever "new thing" has happened most recently and thereby detracting from the importance of enduring truth.

A former client taking the form of a nationwide department store used stores must be visually exciting as an operating principle. The store banked on new visual experiences serving as a psychological catalyst to make people more impulsive.

Retail space attempts to exploit humanity's impulsive nature to promote infantilism. Therefore the obstructing displays smack dab in the middle of aisles and sugar coated tabloid gauntlets impeding access to check out registers. LOL.

Not to mention the entertainment industry and their mindless music being pumped into your head, decoupling your reason from your wallet, allowing you to further enjoy your emotional shopping extravaganza.
