subliminal marketing and consumption

not 10 minutes after I finish writing about the issue of fashion and fad in contemporary consumer society, does a little ferret butt-weasel from some crap internet marketing company called intelliminds leave me a cut-and-paste comment about exclusive content and money or promotional materials for writing about their products. What a pile of wank - I wouldn't take their money if they were stuffing it in my penis hole or if they baked a fucking chocolate cake with it.

so i nav to their site, where they claim to be 'Online Influencers and Opinion Makers'... what the fuck is that? I've heard about these little buggers, where they pay people to ferret around blogs and chatrooms 'subtly' dropping little product placement bombs and creating a buzz about stuff that nobody in their right minds should really give a flying fuck about, considering the bigger problems in this world, not to mention the problems people have right at home (read: isolationism, stupidity, obesity, drug-use, alcoholism, lack of personality and no sense of humor, to begin with).
