The Persuaders

I found this documentary to be very interesting. Though I have heard of these arguments before, it still amazes me how routine advertising in our lives really is. All humans are walking billboards, if you think about. From the clothes we wear, to the purses or bags we carry. The shoes on our feet, the food we buy, where we buy the food. Everything we do has been at least slightly influenced by some sort of mass media persuasion. But of course, we would never take time to notice or acknowledge that. The Persuaders are doing a very good job of opening people's eye to the inner workings of advertisting and showing just how in depth this type of persuasion goes in our heads. I give it two thumbs up.
