    In a way Bill is lucky for not having lived through the last 10 years of bullshit.

    we needed marketing to get to where we were, but where we’re headed is also b/c of marketing, but where we’re going is not as nice as where we were….at the end of the day, marketing and advertising reps look at every citizen as a commodity rather than a person, so im wit Mr. Hicks on this one….go kill urselves

    @conterooski No shit man. Dane Cook has never ever been funny on his own. He needs to steal peoples material at every turn.

    I never would have found out about Bill Hicks if it wasn’t for marketing. :-/

    @pennydesouza what Bill hicks is on about is the kind of marketing that uses/links peoples core beliefs and values to a product so that they identify with it and buy it. its far beyond mere commerce. you should check out a documentary called century of the self, which explains what im talkiong about alot better than i did, and also gives historic examples of this happenning.
    peace

    @BerettaLaumman

    ‘marketing which has the sole purpose of trying to convince people to buy? things which they do not need in any way’.

    I agree that perhaps this type of marketing should be criticised – and is often pretty predatory and grotesque.

    The problem is that while you draw the distinction well, I don’t think Hicks does.

    @wasguan Sweeheart, the peas represent commerce, which has everything to do with marketing. Please don’t contribute if you don’t understand.

    @pennydesouza.. it has nothing to do with peas.

    @tripfunkmonster I think that the majority is good: Especially that which helps small business and makes good use of market research to find the interest of the customer. I do see what you mean though, thanks for your comments and advice, I’ll be sure to avoid the negative side of marketing.

    @leemoody93: Yes, I understand what you are saying. Not all marketing is bad, but most is, and I’m addressing that point. An entire (huge) industry has developed around marketing and they not only don’t have people’s interests in mind, they actually prey on people. By manipulating peoples’ feelings, such as fear and envy, they are taking advantage of weaknesses instead of trying to help their fellow man. I know that might sound corny to some people-but it’s important to many others.

    @conterooski

    It’s amazing how people like Bill Hicks get ignored while half the earth’s population believes everything in the niverse was hand made by a supreme being in exactly 6 days. Without any evidence what so ever. In fact that’s not amazing, that’s mind boggling

  24. BerettaLaumman Says:
    July 28th, 2010 at 8:53 pm

    @leemoody93 i see where you’re coming from, your dad letting people know about his product is totally fine, but Hicks is talking about marketing for the sake of marketing, people who dont create anything, but just try their hardest to sell whatever shit they are told to sell. Marketing is most certainly not the ‘back-bone of our way of life’. Alot of the marketing industry is just an annoying middleman who wont shut up, more like osteoporosis than the back bone to our way of life.

    @pennydesouza your analogy makes some sense, but i think you’ve missed the point a little. Bill is talking about marketing which has the sole purpose of trying to convince people to buy things which they do not need in any way, and has no real value-”bile and garbage”
    Also, its not like people need marketers to let them know about certain things. i’m sure people would know about peas wihtout any marketing scheme. They grow naturally :) . i sure people wouldnt be ‘hungry and poor’
