Right on, bro...Kuan is talking about more "victimization" here...Only an idiot would claim that they are a"victim" of advertising, and blame their "fat-ass-ness" on target-marketing. If I'm a drunk, is that Budweiser's fault? If I look like a bloated cow, is that McDonald's fault? Yes they are trying to sell their product, but they do not have a gun to my head, forcing me to buy and consume excessive quantities of it.
OK, it's "Adulthood 101" time again. Here we go kids...let's all say it together now: ..... "Personal responsibility" ..... "Accountability" ...... "Responsible for your own actions" .... OK, one more time...... Personal respon.................................................
