Commercials, along with politics, are the best examople of manipulations of our brains, and therefore our lives. They are made to make you buy things you do not want to buy and as such are contrary to free will. They are more subtle, or opaque, than politics. They use carefully chosen images, phrases, colors and anything you can think of to affest your will. They are prepared with psychologicians who know what happens in our minds and therefore can plan precisely our reactions. All charity concerts are thought of that way. Their main purpose is to give profit to organizers, to sell records and videos with pictures of starving children on cover. Media do not say a word that those children starve because the fields of wheat has been transformed into cash crops like coffeee or tea for rich people in the West.
