There are two types 1. Actual Fans of a product (ie a movie or game) (and you cant really dislike them they're just fans getting paid) 2. The other ones, They pretend to like a product and sneak them in on you, by arranging only one type of alcohol in a bar or getting on boards and convincing people to go see a movie etc. (now theres alot of people who do that but most of them identify themselves as being associated with a company or band etc. the UCM pretend they are unbiased consumers and your getting good word of mouth information) What peeked my intrest they were showing an example and it was them UCMing the movie Cowboy Bebop and I rember how the board got busy about it when it came out (ofcourse that could just be because we have many fans on the board)

Okay too long but just a heads up

If someone goes out and buys something for no other reason than the fact that they heard someone say, "Hey, this <insert product here> is cool!" or what have you, they're a grade A, ultra-homogenized moron.

It's simple.
  1. Buy what you like.
  2. Ignore what you dislike.
  3. Learn to form your own fucking opinions.

That last seems to be difficult for people in this day and age.

The sad part is that this is probably only the beginning.

I just hope that it doesn't come down to the retinel scanning ads like in Minority Report. If that happens I'll probably poke my eyes out just so I don't have to hear about Applebee's new grilled ass entree. Of course when that happens will all be saying "Back in my day all we got was emails that said 'Shatter her vagina with your enormous sized meat wrench'".
