advertising: the weed of humanity

G'day

im not happy at all today. i was using overnet to grab some songs (as the law abiding citizen i am :P) and i saw an ad on the program which read somthin like "what is the best type of ad network?" my answer is none at all. i think that ad networks should be made illigal. one ad compampany is fine by its self save for the ultra persistant one that put crap on ur hard drive, but ill get to that later.

i believe that if ad companies were to band together for extra strength, the world will drown in a sea of offers, new low prices and viagra. if this were to happen then global moral and the fabric of society will be lost forever. as this would continue, people will end up committing mass suicide. some will do what muslim extremeists do, strap 20 kg of c4 attached to their chests and run at an advertising building to see how close they could get before letting rip with a monumental explostion that will hopfully level the building thus making them national heroes in death. thats one way to end the pain.

alternitavly, people will just hang them selves, slit some wrists, jump of a building that hasnt been leveled by a western suicide bomber, stand next to a suicide bomber. be in the targeted building of the bomber, or be straped to the chest of the suicide bomber. all these things will work just fine.

the funny thing is that by the time the companies cotton on the the fact that people wanna die, they would have done so allready. this would leave only the ad companies so they would turn on each other to buy what every they're trying to sell. this process would leave only one company left which would inevitable turn in on its self and collapse. this has been observed in nature many times when there is too much of one species, so it is with different species of people. these companies r the weed of humanity, constantly spreading, and killing off all other forms of people leaving only themselves to consume.

on the other hand, some people could form little regressive communities that grow wheat and corn and have a hear of cows. these people would not have any money at all. in fact, they would not have an economy to which and advertises could attach themselves to, thus making them imune to the weed of humanity.

(dont ask me how i ever got here. it wasnt planned at all)

and i have just had the idea i could use this in my drama IP. will think about it more. n e way...

these people would wear sheepskins, have long hair, and use simple tools to work the earth. school would teach how to heard the cows and grow the crops and build houses. it would me a most wonderous place with singing and dancing and hearty drinking. actually it wouldnt be that i dont think, im not an optimist, and im not a pesemist either. im a realist, how ever im not while im writing this article.

in conclusion, were all screwed either way u look at it. n e way, i gotta see if this idea will work for drama. if u have n e suggestions, then please post on my blog.

"knowledge is power, power corrupts. study hard, be evil" thats a motto which i hope will get me thru this last year of hell, but thats for another post, another time.

Cheers

Hello hello,
Well im doing what you asked and commenting on this.. personally i like the end result, but it reminds me a lot of that book we read for english ages ago... children of the dust? yeah but I had a dream about someting like that happening.. it had nothing to do with advertising, but i can see your point there!
maybe if everyone hid instead of killing themselves (troy like?) then you could speed up the collapsing process, but without everyone dying!
just some thoughts there!!:D
