Parents have so many corporate forces to fight against to protect their children. It's not an easy battle. On the contrary, the psychological manipulation on their kids that goes on under the radar of parents is kind of frightening.
But some of the propaganda techniques also reach adults, so none of us are immune. For this reason, we've got to pay attention to all messages, to all aspects of messages, and to all permutations of what the message means.
Does this mean that Sonny, the cuckoo bird of Coco Puffs fame, was trying to gaslight us into developing long-range, dare I say, addictive relationships with him, or his cereal, that would only leave us hollowed out health-wise? 'fraid so. So Sonny was a real psychopath?
Kids enjoyed the plastic toys, trinkets, or puzzles in cereals of old to help quietly build brand loyalty. But something more hidden is afoot in their marketing techniques. It's clever. And effective.
Thanks to Wejolyn for her post that caused me to search for the above video. She references a Dr. Peter Osborne. I am not familiar with him, but his work looks interesting. Check out his YouTube channel.
Doesn't hurt to recall that the founder of Kellogg's cereals created his bran to stop young men from masturbating. Well, it seems that he's achieved that, since so much of the grains are doused in glyphosate and perfect for sterilization.
Kellogg's corn flakes were originally invented in the late 19th century to prevent masturbation. Their creator, John Harvey Kellogg, believed sex and masturbation was an 'abominable crime'
He also adopted his children rather than impregnating his partner.
Wow, compare his attitude with today's Herbert Marcuse's post-modern.
