The only part of advertising we know for sure actually sells products is product awareness. They let you know about stuff you might want to buy, they don’t make you buy anything. Everybody knows about violence. There’s no magic in the creation of demand, it’s just about product awareness.
They don’t actually show that stuff during the family hour. They imply it often, but they don’t actually show it. Of course most good movie directors will tell you implication gets a message across better than showing something. Which creates an interesting dichotomy when trying to “protect” kids from images, we don’t want to show them these things, but not showing them implants them deeper in their heads.
First the absolute lie:
"They don’t actually show that stuff during the family hour. "
Can't speak to what you are watching but thanks to 200+ channels on Cable, it is sure available 24/7 on Time Warner.
" There’s no magic in the creation of demand, it’s just about product awareness."
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! No intention at all of the media using millions of dollars of commercials to get people to buy stuff. I'd like to see you sell ads using this logic.
100% fact is violence is allowed almost 24/7 while the occasional exposure of God's creation can expose a network to millions in fines.
This is but one part in the communist manifesto to destroy the fabric of the USA. That is not hype for anyone who actually read the communist manifesto.
