+1 to hating marketing. I try to remember to mute the TV during commercials and generally try to avoid consuming ads whenever possible. Would rather just pay a small subscription to a content producing company in order not to have to watch ads. This is what makes HBO, Spotify, and others so great.
Blonde, you might like Century of the Self, a documentary that gets into, among other things, how marketers have succeeded in manufacturing a sense of need among the population. You can stream it on Google Video I'm pretty sure. I've rec'd it before. It's 4 hours long. If you think you can't sit through that, then just watch the last hour (but I'd recommend the whole thing).
