ITT: Gimmicks

This constitutes as a gimmick of "dumb blonde" because of her clothing choice, dyed blonde hair, her body language (arched back, legs spread, mouth open), high platform heels. I think you know what I'm sayin'.

What else are gimmicks?
I always remind myself how subtle they can be, so subtle that many people don't think they are gimmicks at all and fall for them.

No, I'm not. Stereotypes are what naturally follows gimmicks that go undetected as gimmicks. People will assume things based on the facade of the gimmick.

What makes it an obvious gimmick is that one many people in the West can identify.

In other words we all know Girl in panties and bra = Sexy
Thinking someone is Sexy (not referring necessarily to just being turned on, but the cultural definition of Sexy) leads to a whole bunch of other thoughts.
Those thoughts are likely to be exactly what she wants you 2 think.

Saw it a while back, it's crazy how easily people are duped just bc something is on tv. everything on tv looks cooler than real life, doesn't mean you have to buy it.

kids are easy targets but only because adults want to buy buy buy.
if anyone is wealthy enough to afford all the stuff they want, no harm done really.

Well, no one is, that's the achievement of advertising. They can always sell you "better" or more exclusive stuff.

if you can't keep your kid in line to make it stop nagging to buy things, it's not exactly the tv's problem.

So do we put on our guy fawkes masks now and abolish the system since we, the members of /fa/, are the first people to find "gimmicks" in the history of mankind?
This is revolutionary, I'm on the phone to the news channels right now - you just wait till tomorrow, the headlines will read "Company uses gimmick to sell something, world shocked, king rezr saves the masses"

then they only show you things that aren't necessities.
well, it's a bit of a mindfuck. i don't think it's all the advertisers' fault. at this point it's our culture. i mean you wouldn't sell many Indian sarees in America with mass advertising because sarees are more or less considered absurd there. And now with the news about all the gang rapes in India, sarees would sell even less.

only real gimmicks:
makeup
jumping (who NEEDS to jump on a reg. basis?)

pants = necessity or you go to jail, also they are practical than skirts
