Please don't feel bad.

Everything is accelerated in broadcasting. If you don't catch the viewer in the first 3 seconds, they change the channel.

Next time you watch a commercial, notice that the visual image changes at least every 3 seconds.

Our attention spans are hopelessly short: and the next generations are even shorter.

Watch and count:

I spent 35 years manipulating people's emotions through images. Fascinating what motivates people. We truly are attracted to small shiny objects (as are crows, chimps, and racoons).

I think we're on different pages.

I'm not concerned with the commercial content or Cke's message: I was talking about being someone who produced commercial content and how we manipulate people.

I think it's important for everyone to know how they're being manipulated through commercial ads and promotion.

You're right about the Coke: sugar water that rots teeth and bodies, all over the world.
