very good point, I don't hear saga being promoted on radio so plainly
they are aiming their marketing at people who are doing quite well
health wise thank you very much!!.(note the implied sarcasm here). but
yes it is a subliminal form of discrimination.
Marketing departments, especially those who work for very financially
solvent companies employ hordes of behavioural psychologists and the
like to find ways to get people to buy their products unwittingly.
increasingly "targeted" marketing is the big game today go for the ones
who can shell out the most and **** everyone else.
