A Sickening Reminder
A little birdie told me that Tobiidynavox had gotten a little airtime on a certain TV series - my least favorite sitcom - Speechless. Seriously? I'm not trying to burst anyone 's bubble but as the leading company in augmentative communicators, why do they need the exposure? Even though it's on a smaller scale, this is like Apple having a slot for their Mac on the hit movie Steve Jobs.
A study conducted by the Journal of Management and Marketing Media, "While product placement is riskier than conventional advertising, it is becoming a common practice to place products and brands into mainstream media including films, broadcast and cable television programs, computer and video games, blogs, music videos/DVDs, magazines, books, comics, Broadway musicals and plays, radio, Internet, and mobile phones."
The entertainment industry is the Fountain of Youth for companies of the products. Naturally, the more an episode is aired, the more exposure the product gets; the more exposure, the greater chances of attracting consumers to purchase the product - all while the creators/producers rest on their laurels and beget filthy rich. This is the gut-wrenching reality of our capitalistic society (now ruled by the ultimate capitalist, Donald Trump). It's a vicious cycle.
I used to think that , in America, you could be anything you want to be. I had no idea the strength of dominant capitalistic hands that we had fallen into, now quashing my dreams of being a full-time fiction writer, and slapping those future creative geniuses like me. The only chance of redeeming the bygone era of chasing dreams is to resist the establishment that forces us to conform to capitalistic behavior, and change the status quo set forth by big businesses and entertainment behemoths like ABC network, and make our own paths. Let you be you.
