Just how much have advertisers wormed their way into our lives? How many advertising messages do we see every minute? (Even when we don't think we're being sold to.) From where you're sitting, how many brand names or logo can you see? My answer? 29. From my chair in my office. Without moving my feet.

What does this mean? I guess it depends or whether your a consumer or a marketer. More than anything I'm curious. How many brand names or recognizable logos can you see from where you are right now?
The rules: 1.) You can't move your feet. You can turn your head, crane your neck, but must stay where you are. 2.) Don't count it if you can't actually see the name or logo. I know I'm wearing Levi's but I can't see the label so I can't count them. 3.) If you see a logo, but don't know what it means you can't count it.
Even being as attentive as I can I not see two brand names that I should have seen when I made the list. Protrend and Alfred. I want to see your list. Go.

I think I'll do it later though, because I just tried to do it while sitting on my bed in my room, and it was quite boring.

Idols of supiority is what it is. One company trying to out do the other rather than working together. Well at least you have some idea of what lies around my cluttered computer area lol.
