... there’s always something wrong with us. I have a few boring hours at work to kill.

Tell me the parts of your body, personality, lifestyle, kinks you’re not happy with and let me convince you otherwise. Oh unless it is utterly crap but I’ll tell you nicely that nicely too

Lol. Apparently contouring/ highlighting your muscles is a thing. I've not stooped to it yet.

But no, you also need to do fitness plans and tone but not too much (and we're going to scare you about getting muscles eww boy germs), and starve yourself on our special plans, and despite the fact that muscle growth requires a calorie surplus, the fact that you're not building muscle is your fault, work harder. Exhausted? Supplements! Oh and don't forget the gym makeup baby, you can't have natural eyebrows while you're beetroot red and grunting.

Research has shown that those people who believe that they are not influenced by marketing/advertising are still persuaded, even whilst they are seeing themselves as resisting.

Not every product or advertisement will be targeted at us, so we can be left feeling cold, neutral etc towards it - that may mean it was incredibly good marketing, if it was never aimed at us but it did influence those that it was targeted at.

Skinny? Nah. Wirey, built to last, can squeeze in anywhere, can fit you amongst 4 people in a bed if need be. I call it lucky

You again. And I bow yet again to your beauty (not physical meant here but you’re a bit of alright too)."

It's rather hard to keep it to minimal if you getting it in tele radio, papers, shops designs, shelfs in shops designed for that very purpose

"I could do with a bit more hair on top... I inherited my Mother's side of the family genes for hair but at least I've more hair than my maternal cousins. ..

My paternal male cousin is a couple of years older than me and stilloiks like Fox Mulder. .. envious lol

So what can you do for me OP?

Hmm. Get a grip man. You could try to cover, there’s enough products out there- the modern day comb over. I say go natural. Flaunt it baby. And your cousin, bah! You’re the bees and knees, believe it and it’ll happen

Nope not going with a comb over or cover it... I think my next trip to the Barber will involve a much shorter cut all round

Ooooh. Shaved heads are so sexy. I think Captain Picard started it?"

Actually I think Yul Bryner or Telly Savalas started it but Captain Picardy certainly made it even more popular

"If I knew which 50% of marketing spend actually works, then I would only work half as hard

No!!! Are you one of the evil ones in our society?? And I was just beginning to want to open my errmmm heart for you

Not the first person to call me evil...

* wicked chuckle fades into background

Come back! Explain your dastardly deeds to us..."

Was that a typo?

Heart, hmmmmmm. With beans and a nice chianti. I'm hungry now

Just because I see it doesn't mean it all goes in. Critical thinking and evaluation. Some will slip past, which is why I said minimal not eradicated.

There is a brilliant short documentary series called ‘Century of the Self’, it’s on YouTube, which explains the origins of marketing. Really good.

Unfortunately for us, most of them are designed to work on our subconscious mind, sort of to save it for future idea, and our mind being as it is going to dig out that bit of marketing when we need it.
