Here's to feeling good all the time.

“For 500,000 KRW (443 USD), an Uncle Service will send a rough-looking, hulking man to your bullied kid’s school to warn the bullies to stop picking on them – or else. This is called the “Uncle Package.” If you’re feeling spendier, the 400,000 KRW (354 USD) “Evidence Package” involves the “uncle” making a video-recording of the bullies in action, then showing it to the school administrators and demanding action on pain of having the video released to the school board. The top tier is the 2 million KRW (1,772 USD) “Chaperone Package”: the “uncle” will picket in front of the bullies’ parents’ place of work, bellowing “A parent of a bully works here.” https://boingboing.net/2018/09/15/violence-inherent-in-the-syste.html

how do i score this job

just arrived at where the convication ceremony is going to be held. they gave us really formal looking manilla envelopes with some thick books inside and i thought it was going to he like. a handbook or a shitton of pamphlets or something but its actually two volumes of a manga starring the school’s founder.

okay i just had a bad epiphany but corporate interest’s influence on the internet is going to become so much stronger now that generations that are internet naturalized have grown up and starting working as “social media consultants”. advertising is going to become so much more subtle, manipulate your behavior to a greater extent, and completely pervade every aspect of our lives the more we rely on the internet for everything from entertainment to social validation. 

what im saying is its scary that corporate twitter accounts are getting good at twitter. to have the same avenue a human would to express themself. its like, an extreme anthromorphism of a brand, and that brand representing a corporate interest, and successfully passing itself off as a sentient entity on twitter, thats really weird to me.

It’s not about the effectiveness of the ads in question, but their complete omnipresence in every aspect and moment of life, and how bizarre and sophisticated the mechanations of advertising have become. If people don’t call attention to these things, they become normal.
