The 30-Second Dream


Family, intimacy, vitality, and success 
are four areas of deep emotional concern
where many commercials focus their promise.


"The general fear of not being loved
and then to be able by some product to be loved . . .”
Erich Fromm


Through "story" and song, television advertising
creates an environment that subliminally shapes
our view of ourselves and our world.


In an average lifetime, we spend the equivalent of six years 
of full-time employment watching TV commercials.
