This mind control with televison advertisements aimed at young children. Who among has not heard the high pitched wail"I WANT THAT CEREAL or TOY or SWEET" when shopping?

While I support the ban on junk food advertising during children's television programming, I don't think it very affective, because there is huge group who watch TV outside the allotted times. Compound that with parents who are just as likely to be influenced by adverts as they are to be bullied by their own kids into buying decisions.

What is needed is an awareness campaign not attached to any political, religious or corporate group.

TV, Radio, newspapers adverts that appeal to a wide demographic group which highlights how easily humans are influenced by marketing. How to recognise the visual tricks and language that is employed to influence.

Would such a campaign if it proved successful, break down political and/or religious regimes?   Would it lead to the fall of capitalism, (financial collapse we have already had). Seems like right now... this very moment humanity is ripe for just such a campaign.

I now throw this thread open to your own speculation of human herds, and especially to your ideas about how to combat the problem and if indeed you think it is a problem.
