Does anyone else think that advertisers and salespeople are the true children of the Dark Lord (I don't mean Darth Vader), telling us we need things that we could really all live without?

Or am I just talking sh!te?

Take the RBS adverts at the top of the page - necessary?

I don't see any adverts telling us that we cannot live our lives without certain things, because that is illegal in this country.

But persuasion advertising is, and has always, been the style of marketing and advertising, going back thousands of years. Otherwise no one would buy much.
Tried to get me in the supermarket store
Bought what I wanted, but they they said "buy more"
Mountains of crap that nobody really needs
Gaily coloured wrappers to suit assorted greeds
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link
Buy this product, pay for the crap
Quarter for the product, three quarters for the wrap
Be the happy family, like the people on the pack
Pay up to the profit, and you'll never look back.
