A recent commercial shows three starving shipwrecked men in a dingy. One of them is sneakily eating something. The other two spy this and accuse him of eating the last of the rations. The ‘cheese on his beard’ is clear evidence of his guilt and they demand an explanation. He looks them at them and says “X-Insurance can save you 15%”. They pause for a second and then sit back nodding in agreement, having forgotten their accusations. A fish jumps into the boat and into the hands of the food thief, who quickly utters “Gross!” and throws it back into the water.

And that, my friends, is how the media and propanda work!
