"Media Bombing or: How Things Really Are | February 12, 2010
We’ve been cheated by the mass media. And what’s worse, we don’t even know it. It’s the movies and the TV shows, ads and even songs. They made us change our concept of love. They tell us love is fireworks and roses, and chocolates and fancy cars. They make us wear their clothes and empty our pockets in hopes of finding romance. But we’re lonelier than ever, ’cause we’re going on a wrong direction." (http://slightlystrange.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/media-bombin...
