Think For Yourself
Microsoft Paid $500-Million To Propagandize the X-Box in the US
Gone are the days of thinking for oneself, now-a-days large companies with billions of dollars do it for us! How convienant. Take Microsoft for example. Before launching its new Black PC with control ports (AKA, the X-Box) Microsoft pumped and unimaginable 500 million dollars into advertising the thing (500-million US dollars). It is also proper to note that this was just the sum for advertising in the United States, other equally large sums were probably used in other countries (Most of all Japan I would think, those Japanese really hate the big M [More power to them]). What does this mean to the somewhat intelligent people of 18 years or older, probably nothing, most of us can tell when we're being fed BS, but for the WWF watching, Jolt Cola Drinking, and Suped Up Car Driving folk, the X-box is the Sh1t.
What a powerful example of propaganda the black box is. To think, when microsoft unveiled the thing it was pardoned as a nerd's b1tch, go near it and be infested with cooties. $500-million makes a big difference. The zombified following of the box is a scary testiment to today's society.
For those of you out there wise enough to tell when liquid rocks are being thrown at you, Congratulations, you'll be fine. For those of you that are cursing me for making fun of the WWF, Jolt Cola, and Suped Up Cars, perhaps you should get your priorities in check (priorities are things that matter the most to you), and enroll yourself into a media or marketing class, you'll be amazed.
Peace Out.
