Quotes Of The Day - Propaganda


You cannot escape capitalism, it’s everywhere. On every billboard on every TV program, you have someone telling you to buy something. When this is done by governments in dictatorships we call it propaganda, when companies do it, it’s called advertising. They’re both forms of brainwashing.

This is the secret of propaganda: To totally saturate the person, whom the propaganda wants to lay hold of, with the ideas of the propaganda, without him even noticing that he is being saturated.

-Paul Watzlawick

Interesting poster "Beware of Images". Very true also. Our society changes through the years because of advertising, movies and TV.

That's true. People are always surprised by that fact, but not as surprised as they are when they first put on a pair of the "special" sunglasses.
