I like some commercials. I hate some. I don't think people are brainwashed, but advertising companies know more about our habbits then we do sometimes. It's not just TV, it's everywhere.

Take a look around the grocery store sometime. Ever notice how most are laid out basically the same? They do that for a reason. The dairy products are ususally on one side of the store and fruits and veggies on the other. The meat is allmost allways in the back and everything else is in the middle. They do this to maximize the ammount of the store you have to walk through to get what you're wanting. In order to get to the chicken, youll have to walk down an isle that may have an end cap with a great sale and all of a sudden you're buying it when you didn't go in for it.

People know how we think that's never gonna change. It's when they try to change how we thing that we should be worried.

And yes MTV is the worst case of actual brainwashing. I can't stand that channel....and it started out as such a great idea...
