A woman airs a series of vaguely enticing video ads, conducts scattershot interviews with some of the sad-sack "responders," and regales us with a stream of analytical tropes that shouldn't have outlived the 1980s. A fine-tuned machine for making you more stupid.

It's intelligent, but the perspective seemed dated.. Still, the time of its making is at a strong point in which american culture and consumerism is strongly effected by these suductive images. What seems natural, being exposed in my youth, is only an example of how suduction in media has touched affected culture.
