A short spoken reflection on how TV, media, and magazines manipulate viewers, shaping what people perceive as important or desirable. The speaker questions whether personal preferences (e.g., interest in expensive watches or toys) were genuinely theirs or implanted by media suggestions.
I look now at the brainwashing of TV and media and magazines. I mean, I have a big problem with a lot of these companies and these organizations for various reasons. But one is, of course, they're there to manipulate you. And you look back and you're like, I wonder how much of what I thought was important. I mean, even as a man, you think certain things are important. Why? Is it because I used to read the magazines that they'd have the expensive watch efforts and, you know, just all of the toys and those kind of things. So it's funny, you look back and you're like, was that, was that my thoughts, or was that, was it suggestions that were put in?
