tamar discovered 9 months ago- Interesting psychological analysis. I am inclined to think that my gadgets do say much about me. :)

timeistooshort rated 4 months ago- From the page: "ā€oeAdvertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.”"

brightgem rated 5 months ago- good read

pmorris rated 5 months ago- corporations don't want us to like ourselves. Be a rebel, love yourself!

joyousdawn rated 6 months ago- Good find from Dr. Rob of ShrinkTalk.net :)

I believe this. I have long thought along the same lines.
"You mean if I watch the endless barrage of Victoria Secret models prancing around half naked and cellulite, wrinkle free with no sleepy boogers in their eyes as they wear their jammies that that may correlate with my desire to buy the jammies and have me believing my ass looks that good and I, too, won't have sleepy boogers in my eyes? And that that would be a result of low self esteem so I have to buy more and more?"
Yes, Virginia. For if your self esteem was up to par you'd realize quite frankly that though you may have a few dimples of cellulite and a few laugh lines on your face and though you have eye boogers pervading your every waking morning...you would know these things and they wouldn't matter.
"Gee. That's swell. Now I know! Now I can stop doing it!"
Good. I'll let you know when I get there.
