I am terribly afraid of advertising. I feel like it is warping us into creatures that we would find horrifying if we could see ourselves from the viewpoint of a person not warped by adds. Behavioral economics and neuroscience are going to be the next front in the psychological marketing wars, and things like happiness and self understanding will be it's victims.
I don't buy some of Mr Jhally's anaysis, but at least guys like this might make people think about what washes over them everyday.
