no you're not the only one. i'm sure the "idiot box" does brainwash people ... like ads, weird programs and all that affect the way of your thinking and sometimes your behaviour

pffft. do i sound brainwashed? maybe i do, but T.V. never brainwashes me. i choose to sound like a freak.

TV does control our lives but I am not complaining. Without it we wouldn't know what to do.

well it brain washed me into likeing anime so it couldn't be all that bad

yes I do in fact
can you explain why people would spend thousands of dollars on yu-gi-oh cards?
or why there is a mcdonalds and a wal-mart in every country on the planet?

it is called subliminal advertising wal-mart use to play a song over the intercom that secretly said "you are a good shopper good shoppers dont steal" and they ended up getting sued for it
I myself think this is scary for those who cant see it or hear it

@Zackraa
yup so true ... little kids spend so much money on anime cards and games sometimes it's scary >_<
and about mc.donalds and such companies, they are spread all over the place ... and spreading even more because they advertise themselves 1000 times a week ><

thanks bloodhawk and kedar looks like this thread became a poll after all
