fucking bullshitting!

I just contacted the author about his notion that in communism the brands were produced just to give us an illusion of having a choice.

my argument is that Henkel is the producer of Ariel, Persil, Rex/Tix and a handfull of other brands at the same time (and PG, Unilever and a lot of other companies are doing the same) and it's definitely not because they're producing a lot of different products. it's just the brands, baby.

and it's the same same illusion.

ironically, I got the answer 2 minutes after I wrote. the guy who wrote it (and is also the presiden of being-reasonable.com is Marc E. Babej, born in the US of czech and slovak parents and his girlfriend comes from moravia :-)

he said that I was right and that he'd like to hear some more on the subject of socialist ads, since I wrote my diploma work on the subject.
