People are brainwashed by the media to think something is cool. Even on the subways, I've seen ads for Bud beer. Why would they advertise beer on the subways? Little children see these ads and all the happy people in them. In return, they grow up believing that this is the way to get friends as an adult.
And even some of the commercials on tv for medicine, are bad. They tell people that it's okay to overeat and be unhealthy, because all you need to do is take a Tums or Pepto-Bismol, and you're better again! I can't believe I even know how to spell
Pepto-Bismol! There are more important words to know. But as I've seen these commericials thousands of times in my life, I know how to spell the product name. That's advertising!
Kids can spell product names these days, but can't spell the names of States or vocabulary words in spelling bees.
