There's a Reason for Everything

First off, if your reading this, I greatly appreciate it...

          With that being said, lets talk about the perception of the media. Now I know your all thinking, "what does that have to do with the title"? Let me explain...You see if you've ever noticed, everything on television serves a purpose and more then for your own personal entertainment. For example, I'm sure we can sit here and think of countless songs, advertisements, commercials/infomercials that we all grew up on as kids. No matter how long ago it was, we can still remember them distinctly like the back of our hand. That's because society is very strategic in influencing the global masses. Don't get me wrong, "Count Dracula" on Sesame Street taught a lot of people how to count. So the media has some good in it. But The first thing I believe the media is designed to do is to create perceptions into your mind. You may ask, "how is this done". Its simple...Attention, Attraction, Persuasion and  Repetition. The way you draw in a buyer for any product is through attention first. You have to put something or someone out there to draw the future buyer in. This is done through attraction. Why do you think athletes, musicians, actors and models are the forerunners for company's products? BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO ATTRACT YOU!! (Sorry for the caps)..This is how trends are started in society, because people see their favorite entertainer wearing something and causes them to want the same. Then you wonder why your broke or can't pay your light bill...Smh
Persuasion is easy...They make the product seem so reliable that you must have it...I watched a Subway commercial a few months back and it had NBA Basketball Player Blake Griffin in it. This was around the time Blake Griffin was dunking on everybody every night! So he was (and still is) at that time a hot commodity. So when I saw him promoting the Subway commercial It made me realize something. "They" always choose the hottest trending topic to attract the most attention. Sadly, this may sound simple, but this is EXACTLY how your pockets get raped!
The Last is repetition. Almost every ignorant song I've heard in 2011 alone so far, I've ended up listening to simply because the radio played it so much that it got stuck in my head. Like I can't tell you how many times I've listened to Racks on Racks! lol smh...This is exactly how they get you. They play certain things and advertise things until it entices you to give in..You ever notice the new trend..You know...They get you to buy more and save less? give more and more and more and lose so much?....you get the point I hope...But this brings me to my last note, After repetition, you have, (Drum roll please), "A mass hypnosis of the Global Mind"....
With that being said, stay "in sync" with yourselves and stop smoking a "J" and trying to imitate "Cole" from Martin...Oh I didn't mention subliminals? Dammit! lol
