Advertising - as a means of torture (8 photos)
The advertising industry is increasingly using for their own purposes means and methods that were previously in the arsenal of torturers, inquisitors and totalitarian regimes. Let me explain.
Branding has been a widespread practice. Criminals burned on his forehead the word thief branded pirates and runaway slaves. Now, many companies offer cash rewards for a tattoo with their logo.
China criminals bore the shameful plate with a story about their recent findings crime. During the Cultural Revolution, as well branded apostates revisionists. Now on the same principle working people sandwiches.
In the Middle Ages delinquent dressed in ridiculous costumes and disgrace led through the city. Now similar growth figures advertise anything.
In "A Clockwork Orange" protagonist forced to watch the movie right. Now many sites popups overlap text you. The "close window" can be found immediately. And sometimes pressing it leads to another page advertising.
Plant a man behind bars has always been a strong punishment. Now all kinds of popular show behind the glass.
The idea that someone can always watch your every move was considered quite unbearable. The very existence of a reality show like "Dom-2" is possible thanks to a huge amount of publicity in the program. The program is packed full of product placement to the eyeballs.
Public nudity has always been considered a disgrace. Remember the promotion of "Euroset" - exposed for some kind of gadget?
One of the most difficult things in the jail was depressing a small amount of sunlight. Today, residents agree to the blackout in their apartments advertising banners. To reduce your utility bills.
The similarity is not accidental. In both cases, the most important thing - the maximum effect and show the highest memorability. Of course, people - being very pliable and easy to manage. No one is forcing. Everything happens for a mutual agreement. Legislation to ban such advertising campaigns possible. But it is possible to boycott them.
How degrading.
