Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

The average person is exposed to over 3000 adds each day. Now for the average person that is subjected to that, their consciousness is having a non ending battle.

Well if you're good at advertising yourself (for business or whatever purpose), then it's a chance for you to test your skills on how YOU can affect people and their minds. For people who don't advertise and the ones being exposed to it, it's a chance for you to test your skills against the advertisement. If you can't win a battle against advertisement, what kind of battle can you win?

I'd hardly say internet ads are ruining my life, and I use the internet a lot.

What sort of subversive ads prompted this?

One time I was on the bus on shrooms and I became aware of just how intrusive the bus ads were on my consciousness. It felt like the words were trying to etch themselves on my brain forever, and I realized how many ads were straight-up DEMANDS, orders and suggestions.

I think ads have more of an effect on us than we think, unless we really choose to avoid them. A good start is not watching TV.

That's too profound, I just want to do those skittle commercials that seem to appeal to a stoner demographic nowadays

I usually have no interest in advertisement as there's nothing out there that I'm looking for. Most advertisement is stupid anyway, and it's not hard to ignore something that's stupid. You gotta train your brain to simply ignore it or laugh at it (not in a ridicule type way, but more of a laugh of pity for how sad the ads are). If you let yourself get too angry with ads or begin to think there is a conspiracy, then they do start taking control of your life, well, you make the choice to let them effect your life, therefor it was the weakness in you that brought it about. If you let ads effect your life by obeying them, then your just stupid lol :smile:
