Minority Report anyone? Not yet, but we"re heading there.
Real-time, custom-created spam is coming!
And we thought e-mail spamming was bad enough!

Just great, the people get suckered into buying more of the devils crap.....
It's pathetic.
Does anyone pay any attention to the adds in this forum. I rarely ever look at them, but ~ just tonight I looked at them and found that they were advertising for Hippies and Huna...two of the things I had been discussing in the thread.

Let's type in some rude words and see what happens
.
Just so no one gets too offended, I'll use my invisible post method:
cheap prostitutes booze crack dope mr robin parsons is an idiot if you've never seen an elephant ski then you've never been on acid
That should get some interesting ads. Highlight the text to see it (if you dare
).
- Gehn
P.S. This is a scientific test , so I shouln't have my warn level raised for it. I hope.

Minority Report anyone? Not yet, but we"re heading there.
Funny, I was just reading
http://www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?fuse...essay_id=216335
and since I talked about exactly these aspects of society with my brother and sister just a few weeks ago --it's kind of a continuing discussion we have- I thought it would fit here just perfectly.
ONLY a society based on a bipedal propaganda-advertisement combo would try to port its sweet self to the internet so brazenly and fail to realize why it doesn't work.
Because of brain wiring.
I don't look at little boxes if you beg me too. That is, when I think about them at all, more often than not they just don't register at any conscious level. They can flash, they can dance across my field of vision, they can play sound, they can pop up: I DON"T REGISTER their existence. I am incapable of telling you any of the contents of the last 30 pop-up windows I saw on my screen, or of the last 30 advertisements I accidentally clicked on. I am incapable of telling you what sort of advertisements were on any and all of the pages I visited for the last 2 weeks.
It's impossible. And it is becoming more and more impossible as people grow up on the internet, and get burned out by links that lead to other links instead of what they promised on the "hook" where you clicked (unfortunately, journalism is doing it much more often than advertising!!!). People rewire themselves to NOT go to links that are not compatible with their own computers, for instance: I don't watch physorg videos, and I would love to, because I got burned out --I can't go around "saving the world" complaining to sites that their codes don't match universal practices, for instance -and there are a lot of people that I would like to read more often and don't because I can't stand their site's incompatibilities. (Under no circumstance will I allow that sentence to be taken as a "criticism" of Physorg. It isn't.)
People don't go around checking those little boxes' content. It's the other way around: people browse with the "ignore little box" on red alert. I have seen it with my own eyes: all you have to do is ask people a half hour after they turned their computer off if they saw any interesting add on the pages they visited: you will get blank stares most of the time.
There is still some hope for "viral" marketing, whatever that is. It is going to take a lot of work and concentrated effort by thousands of people working in concert to substitute a viral marketing campaign for regular marketing campaigns and... it will fall under RICO soon enough
The same way there is money in spam --I don't think that has ever been even deniable-- there is money in whatever it is that "will" succeed on the internet. This doesn't sound like one of them schemes.
On another perspective of the same phenomenon, people aren't just running out of their houses to buy the latest OSs, are they? Vista kinda bombed, and Leopard I know nothing about or intend to get. I don't like to have my brain wiring moved around because the company saw it fit to change the commands just likethis, or change my folders justlikethat, or change the operation of the "find" command and complexified it so much that I no longer know what I am doing when I press control-f. If it was just the operating system that changed, people would survive, but older people already remember the fighting to learn to use a new computer dozens of times. IT IS MY PRESENT BRAIN WIRING that is being declared obsolete, though the little box says "New Operating System From Your Favorite Company". Nah... been there, done that... tired...
The sort of antipathy that drives people's eyes and minds away from advertising is the banalisation of luxury:

The sort of antipathy that drives people's eyes and minds away from advertising is the banalisation of luxury:
Check Of Almost Two Dollars --Autographed By Almost Me In Gold Gel Ink-- to the first one who finds an advertising structure way out of its league just because it is trying to fight brain wiring. Don't Miss This Unique Gourmet, Sophisticated Opportunity.
Should that be true I would be poor in two seconds flat because everyone does it nowadays (as per the article I indicated: I really thought it had a point to make and made it well.)
If advertisers think they can infiltrate the internet as they infiltrated all of the world's journalism, all tv, all movies, all radio, all the time, through the back door and the front door and the lobby door, they have another thing coming.
Let them try it. Advertising is dead. The advertising society is dead.
