I've been on a George Carlin kick lately. His routines and social commentary are just as funny and relevant today as they were when they were first performed, some of them over forty years ago. You can view his HBO specials (for free, no less), here.
I mention this in order to draw attention to his 1999 special, You Are All Diseased. In the second half of the show, he goes into advertising (the infamous Advertising Lullabye), then expands into what America does best - and what best describes my general attitude towards the mass media and advertising in general. I'll leave it to you to figure out what that is - just click the link above.
As far as I'm concerned, George Carlin is still THE MAN.
May he rest in peace.
