i watched this earlier today on tv and it completely sucked me in. its a great documentary on marketing research and advertising. if you're interested at all in this stuff this is a must watch.

the interview the guy who coined the phrases "war on terror" and "global climate change" (instead of global warming) and its all involved with marketing.

to my suprise the entire show is watchable on pbs's website (GOOD JOB GUYS!) so watch it!

I'm gonna check it out.

The Frontline special about marketing to teens called The Merchants of Cool is well worth watching if you're interested in media influence.

this sounds good. seriously, everyone should be watching frontline. it's a shadow of what journalism once was, but probably the best thing you can get country-wide on tv in the US.

oh, wait, sorry, pbs isn't sexy enough for government funding. keep watching your sitcoms and talking heads, guys.
