Connection between commercials, news, and other media
How much of a stretch is it to assume that no matter how enriching the actual between-commercial content is, if the entire enterprise as a whole does not fail at its main purpose, I'm going to be walking around believing on some level or resisting the belief that my money isn't safe and productive, I'm fat and about to have a heart attack, I'm depressed, I'd be so much happier with some sloppy ribs or a triple cheeseburger or ten layer burrito, that the unit isn't stiff enough or big enough, and that even my toilet paper is substandard.
