This is way, way beyond the web. Cue in "the century of the self". Advertising and self deception is too embedded in our culture and way of life. Also cue in "Ways of seeing".

Iow, I believe advertising is symptomatic of our current state of consciousness as a collective, and so it is not a cause.
