"Edward Palmer, PhD, a professor of psychology at Davidson College, said many of the products advertised by the mass media can be psychologically or physically harmful to children and are often items children do not need and cannot afford."
Seems to me, advertising holds the same evils for adults. We don't need and can't afford half the shit they advertise..

Personally, I find douche commercials psychologically harmful..

And this is how it should be...

In the eternal war between the sexes, the lady side-blotched lizard wins it all...

Mattel has no sense of humor.
