Nice piece!  The 'sheep' analogy extends most goods sold to this
consumer society.  We fail to recognize advertising for the disingenuous
and fact impoverished agenda it is.  Much of its effect and affect is
subtle, and we do not have full awareness of the ways advertising steers
our buying.  We want to be our own independent selves, but the reality,
at least in corporate eyes and because a discerning shopper is their
nemesis, is the flock needs shepherding.
