Dilbert’s satirical swipes at office life aren’t limited to inter-office politics.
This strip highlights the psychological impact of advertising lures and marketing manipulation on gullible consumers . . .
Thought to Ponder: Who’s responsible for deception in advertising? Marketing managers . . . or the consumers who buy into their lures?
Addendum: Rik’s word of the day ties in nicely with this post ~ Nimiety:
Nimiety pimiety biggiety boo
Owning a nimiety of stuff tends to suffocate you!
Nimiety pimiety biggiety bop
You’ll have a nimiety of stuff if you shop til you drop
Nimiety pimiety biggiety buff
You stop living in nimiety when you learn to say ENOUGH!
No rules. Just write!
