I just have to take a dose of my own medicine and accept that
  emotionally laden appeals are here to stay; it's the nature of
  advertising, marketing, documentaries, politics, internet
  debates, media and in nearly all communication. I've been Don
  Quixote tilting at windmills about it my whole life - since I
  was 8 years old and first realized the TV ad was lying to me
  about how Amazing something was. Without even buying it, I saw
  how they filmed it, with the gigantic kids with their arms out
  to make the toys look even bigger and more detailed... and
  announcer guy with the artificially excited voice. "There's lies
  in here, even though I really want it. They're lying to me.
  They're not supposed to lie. I like them."

  And I never got over it and played spot the bullshit ever since.
  I gotta just accept it.
