Bill Hicks had a really good point when he said people who work in advertising or marketing should kill themselves.
They turn everyone elses experiences to shit just so they can have more money.

- coffeebeqn 6mo agoWhat do you mean? He pretty much died at the peak of his career in comedy. I don’t remember any Alex Jonesy material
- leethomp 6mo agoThe commenter is referencing a conspiracy that Bill Hicks faked his death and became Alex Jones. This imo was less stupid some years ago when Jones could conceivably be seen as an exaggerated satirical caricature, though it's very hard to imagine Bill Hicks taking the bit this far now

- baxtr 6mo agoWouldn’t it be wiser to ignore the messages of adversaries and marketers rather than suggesting people kill themselves? Who hasn’t fallen prey to marketing and propaganda on social media?

- Quarrelsome 6mo agoWell, i highly recommend reacting to advertising aggressively in order to store the memory along with a feeling of repulsion (e.g. swearing, middle finger) to attempt to dissaude the subconscious from retrieving it without revulsion in the future. I think the point of the bit though is to aggressively point out that advertising corrupts our world for their benefit and if advertisers or marketers had a soul they'd realise they were actively making the world worse and move to a different industry. Meaning the only ones the message is for are sociopaths that know what they're doing and don't care.
- bevr1337 6mo agoBill Hicks was a comedian. It's not advice.
- Quarrelsome 6mo agoto be fair he does say in the bit that its not a joke.
- duskdozer 6mo agoAdvertising works despite your active efforts to avoid it.
- Schmerika 6mo agoOh look at that, Quarrelsome's going for the 'righteous anger' dollar. That's a good; that's a good market.
- Quarrelsome 6mo agoI am reminded of the second episode of Black Mirror :D.
- NoGravitas 6mo agoNah, I've been in it for years, and it doesn't pay shit. You need a side hustle if you want to stay in it.
- arkaic 6mo agoRedbar, one of the first podcasts, had been anti ads for over 20 years now. Basically changed my whole view of advertising ever since
