Marketing, Website, Birds & More

-- Quote of the Day -- 

“The three furies of marketing – the first one is Humor, which is a distraction; Sex is a huge tool in marketing, and it is a matter of undermining our sexual adequacy our sense of attractiveness, and our gender identity. …Fear is the third one; fear is a huge motivator and marketers use it all the time. - So what happens to a whole society when they are constantly having these bullets (the furies) fired at them every 30 seconds? The society gets anxious, depressed, non-functional… we will react instead of responding intelligently. The problem with modern marketing is it has become trauma… we are traumatized by marketing, with devastating results.”

~ Lynn Serafinn
