Have to walk to work because I fell for the Kars 4 Kids (that's Kars with a "K") ad

I wake up and take a shower. I use generic body wash that smells vaguely like Old Spice.
I brush my teeth. Chances are Im using a toothpaste that was on sale or was a BOGO.
Put on my clothes or uniform. I bought the Wranglers I did because they were $17 and I get a $100 a season allowance for jeans and I can get 5 pair for that rather than the 2 if I bought Levi's.
My coffee is 8 o'clock coffee. I don't know that i've ever seen an ad for it.
I drive to work in my company truck, or I'll head out in my Tacoma if personal business.
My lunch is genreally made of Aldi wheat bread and Aldi lunchmeat. Some Diet Coke. I buy diet coke because it's the best tasting diet except maybe Diet Mountain Dew but DW doesn't like diet Mt. Dew.
When I go home I turn on my UVerse. It's uverse because it's what's available in my neighborhood.
Dinner is usually Aldi chicken or beefs. Sometimes I go to the butchers in mchenry and buy steaks or ribs. It's a family owned shop.
Bed.

Pretty sure not much of my day is driven by advertising.

Chances are Im using a toothpaste that was on sale or was a BOGO.

Not many.

Congratulations! Advertising does not work on you

More than you believe.

No sir.

I too would like to escape the influence advertisers have on me. Could you teach me?

Don't buy shit unless you need it.

Come on now, Peeps. I'm sure you have many, many things you don't need.

Hey JORR, no murph intended or anything, but what the fuck are you getting at/talking about?

Sure but buying them isn't part of my daily activities.

Just like they have convinced women that they need to shampoo their pussies which are self-cleaning. But without a douche they have been convinced that they are "not so fresh".

Also, how does buying things you "don't need" equate to being affected by advertising?
I mean, I have an HD TV, but is it because of advertising? I don't really think it is. No one "needs" a microwave if they have an oven/stove. But we've all got them. Is that because of advertising?
I bought an LED Mini Maglight today. It's because the standard Xenon maglite i had wasn't really all that bright. Thought I'd upgrade.

Just a discussion.

Just the fact that you use toothpaste is due to advertisers "creating a need". Nobody needs toothpaste. It doesn't clean your teeth. A plain brush does that. But advertisers have convinced us that we will have bad breath without their product. And then we won't get laid. Just like they have convinced women that they need to shampoo their pussies which are self-cleaning. But without a douche they have been convinced that they are "not so fresh".

What's the endgame here?

You don't need that flashlight, you mindless materialistic drone. Just work during the day or use a complex set of mirrors to reflect the Sun's light to where you need it.

Be your own man, go your own way.

Most people don't even think about advertising or its effect on them. They act as if it's innocuous. In fact, it's insidious and borderline evil. One thing for certain, it isn't done for the benefit of the buyer. Advertsing is far from an altruistic pursuit.
