Propoganda Today

Today, what really catches my eye is advertisements.  America spends billions of dollars on them, and it's what fuels Americans materialistic lives.  We see them everyday, and they influence are perception, and image of certain brands, and items.  These advertisements are everywhere and seen by everyone, and at times without knowing we buy something because it's engraved into are minds.  A certain type of advertisement I have a problem with is an advertisement where a celebrity is wearing, eating, watching something he/she knows absolutely nothing about.  People buy these things because they ascosiate the product with the face, and right away it influences their opinion.  My example is Tiger Woods.  I am assuming that Tiger Woods doesn't know a whole lot about watches, but he tells people to buy it.
