retards think that ads manipulate them in imposing standards created by mad men

in fact, mad men take an underground culture, as people say today, and expose it. the latest example is the geek to sell electronic goods and internet access.

this has two effects:
-normies discover a new trend which fuel their craving of hedonism through love of exoticism, to better hate boredom
-the people in the underground culture are pissed off, because ''normies took our memes'' and turned our culture into bland acceptions.

It brainwashes people into making ill formed decisions that steals from the people and only benefits large international companies.
