I believe that if it needs to be advertised, it is not a necessity. If we need something, we know, and we get it.

won't it be self defeating to propose a theory as 'an absolute metric of the consequences of the culture industry' without out leaving any space for the perspective of the consumers? It is presumptuous to deny the element of subjective participation in the so called 'culture industry.' Stating that advertisements are there just to manipulate isn't convincing either and kind of elitist.
