They surely try to convince you that you should "hop over the fence." Everything they (TV advertisers) do seems to say that everything is better than what you already have, even if it's their product.


How else are they gonna shear more cash from the consumer sheep? Advertising is the art of manipulation; the key to effective advertising is to not let the sheep know they're being manipulated. And that's not hard to do given the collective intelligence of the victims.

You may be aware that large advertising firms hire child psychologists to help them design ads. There's a very good reason for that.
