Written MediaVisual Media

Television-watching Americans see approximately 100 TV commercials a day. In that same 24 hours they also see a ton of print ads, billboard signs, and other corporate messages slapped onto every available surface. Studies estimate that 16,000 ads flicker across an individual's consciousness daily.

TV ads are built on one simple idea: If you buy X, you'll get Y. Y is rarely the product itself It's a positive emotion, a perfect relationship, higher social status or an amazing experience. For example: Big Red gum="kiss a little longer." Toys "R" Us=reconnect with your youthful self, allowing you to have even more fun with your kids. Verizon phone=stay close with your family. Calvin Klein jeans will make you sexy like Kate Moss Nike sports apparel will make you ready to "Just Do It" like a professional athlete. There is no human emotion or concern love, lust, war, childhood innocence, social rebellion, spiritual enlightenment, even disgust with advertising that cannot be reworked into a sales pitch.

All 16,000 ads are idealized Idealization means that whatever's happening in the ad is ahead of where culture is right now. It's not what we've got, but instead it's richer, sexier and cooler! TV ads drive culture by reflecting only the lucky top percent of what's possible. When the remaining percent of culture imitates it, the center of culture shifts.
