Falsch

I loathe and despise the mindset which declares that marketing (the art of, because it's no science) has anything to say to me.  That "Survey Says" is the only criterion of something's value.  That only people in the desired demographic of the product are allowed to consume it.  And that goods and services must be marketed to specific groups, as determined by fitting questionnaire data into "appropriate" stereotypes.

Rant elicited by two different blogs today.

In other news, can I assume that GoldenAgeStories dot com is a Bridge Publications front?  There's advertising on buses, but there appears to be only one author...
