What is real? What is 'hype'?
Percentage-wise.
Why is everyone trying to sell me something? All the time.
I have had it up to my eyeballs.. and I think I'm going to rebel. I think I'll declare a new Personal Policy.. which goes like this: If I know about this product because of advertising and/or the media, I ain't gonna buy it.
Wait. That won't work. I can't think of a single thing that isn't being hyped.
Hmmm... maybe I'll have to modify that some. How about: When forced to choose between two products.. I buy the one that advertises less.
Yes.. that might work.
