Getting in a flopsweat over fiction is a tacit admission that your belief system is fragile.

Culture matters. The only people that downplay that with it's only fiction nonsense are liberals. It's funny how 30 second cigarette commercials and marketing in all its forms is too influential but entire movies and books have no affect on anyone. That type of atomistic approach to a cultural ethos is the problem.

Not true.

Advertising, like any other type of fiction only effects fools.

Think of it as evolution in action.
