The only departement you don't really need, except your competitors have one, so now you need one too.

And the problem for me is not with a simple ad for the local grocery store. It's when they made a science out of influencing people and targeting specific groups and working on your subconscious.

I would like to think that I'm not affect by marketing. But the truth is that we all are being led by subtle marketing too, not just the obvious marketing.

So in a way, they affect the choices I make and I don't want anybody but me to make the choices.

Obviously marketing is not going away now. If anything, it will only get more intrusive and intense. I hate marketing...
