i was at my friend's house the yesterday and after she fell asleep, i began to watch tv (i have not watched tv in almost a year). i proceeded to watch vh1 of all channels and it was some show about the lifestyle of christina aguilera. now i had two voices going through my head at the time.
"why the FUCK am i watching this?"
"SHUT-UP. you like it. it's interesting."
"no it's really not."
"YES, it really is."
20 minutes later my mother comes up behind me and tells me it's time to go. and i nod tranfixed by the amount of lingerie christina owns.
i leave thinking, she seems cool.
we're in the car and 5 minutes had passed and i'm thinking WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT. i don't have any particular partiality to christina aguilera, though i won't deny that she has a voice, but i would never go out and buy her cd or cut out a magazine picture of her. however i was very intrigued by her after watching TWENTY MINUTES OF TV.
SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING
MARKETING TOOL
i now understand how people can be so tranfixed by shows like Joe Millionare and American Idol.
the voice IS in the tv.
