A pseudo government propaganda video on being a 'good consumer'. Does any of this sound familiar?
The Good Consumer
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oK_7ju0W8HA
From Zen Habits:
"What’s consumerism? Basically, equating happiness with material goods. Buying in order to bring happiness and solve problems. Spending more and more — and earning more and more to support the spending — in order to realize the dreams given to us by advertising and a consumerist society.
It’s good for the economy but bad for the individual. We end up in an endless cycle of spending and debt and working more and more, and end up with lives filled with goods but empty of meaning and happiness."
