You Are What You Buy - Page 2

Don’t we all have enough cheap, artificial, and only skin deep good-looking stuff? (Actually we don’t anymore can you say “minimalist”?) Just say no. No one will say it for you. Enough is enough. Buy original, choose craftsmanship, quality and style. True, it costs a little more and takes a little more effort and time (time is only money for the people who are taking your money), but in the end it says something about who we are.

Every purchase shapes and defines us. It contributes or takes away from the quality of our life. Remain a mystery to the marketing gurus. Confuse their complex computer algorithms and throw a wrench (preferably one made in China) in their multi-billion dollar alliances. Stay original, it’s you.

    Now the marketers are trying to use olfactory stimulants to force people to buy. I can't WAIT until they get hit with the first lawsuit by someone whose allergies or asthma are triggered by this latest sneaking bullshit. This sort of thing - like subliminal messages in movies - should be outlawed.
