“The reality, known, researched, and manipulated by the merchandising media, is perceptually complex. Simplistic seeing and getting are perceptual constructs custom-manufactured only for overprotected, nongrowth-oriented children, highly vulnerable to manipulation, who eventually become the adult victims in a media-dominated society. …They are usually fantasy-defined by media as the "in-crowd." Their reality is usually that of the losers, the used, the persuaded, the patsies, the appropriated.”
