The problem with online ads is that TV ads are so much easier to brainwash people with. When using internets, human primates use their thinkers (a tiny tiny bit, see youtube comments), when using TV, they don't. So if you want to manipulat

Actually I'm pretty sure that if you take away the strawman (i'm not saying people don't change channels, I'm saying their remote usage isn't governed by critical thinking, it's governed by easily manipulated emotions) it is the norm, and a
