I find this sort of stuff creepy since it's always built with the concept of giving you the idea to buy something even if you didn't really want it. It's nothing like Futurama brain slug but it's still just as disturbing. It's probably why I'm always unsubscribing from email advertisements from various companies I tend to buy things from (since I'm not a regular customer for anything but utilities, rent, and groceries). I want my choices of consumption to be driven more by necessity than just some slick ad or product placement. Hell, I didn't own a smart phone until just last year. How's that for weird?
