I’ve been watching a new show on the SciFi channel called Eureka and everytime they’re in the research center, you see computer screens advertising Cisco Systems and I’m sure there’ve been placements of sodas and things like that that we don’t even notice. We use a DVR and I still find myself forgetting to fast forward the commercials or, even worse, stopping and rewinding to watch the Mac/PC commercials. They’ve got us right were they want us – they’ve effectively changed us from the American Worker to the American Consumer. We don’t produce anything anymore – we just buy things!
