We are bombarded with too much advertising / propaganda.

How can profits still be increased in a saturated market?

You can show customers advertisements on the devices they have purchased. For example, on the display of a refrigerator. Then I just won't buy that kind of refrigerator anymore. The problem is that starting tomorrow, those are the only refrigerators available for purchase. Then I'll cover up the display. You always have to confirm the update on the display, otherwise the refrigerator will shut down and refuse to work. Then I won't connect the refrigerator to the internet. Then the refrigerator won't start up for security reasons. Only when it has downloaded the latest update from the internet and a bunch of ads is it ready for use.

If you think I just made this up and that it's a nice Halloween horror story, you're being pretty naive.

A bit of sad #truth - JIMMY KIMMEL show with Colbert Canceled

My quest to see "what's going on" with the hopeful event scheduled for live Kimmel - with Colbert - in Brooklyn in a week. Timely!

Amid calls for #truth #cancellation from the supposed enemy of #CancelCulture. The loudest voices now, screaming entirely false statistics about political murders (by far, "the Right", followed by 2 other groups, libs being the smallest). Fake #reality.
Lies repeated often enough... Anyone remember Goebbels? Remember #TrumpVirus season 1? (COVID will be gone by April, Hoax)

Speaking of...

There's a big (already planned) event scheduled- an annual free and live show coming to Brooklyn NY.
Kimmel announced a week ago that one of his guests would be Colbert. I requested tickets, haven't heard back.
So now... If that was ABC sponsored, is it off now?

I was thinking for a moment the two of them together with a huge audience could be the beginning of something new. An alliance? Movement? But if the event is now cancelled, it won't be televised! Will it be covered? Likely not by ABC! Or CBS. Sheesh!

Checking my ticket status

E-Ticket
COMING SOON
E-Ticket details for this event are not yet available. Please check back soon for the most up-to-date e-ticket information.

OK, next: checking ABC main website: No info. Have to go through audience services form to request tickets (for LA).

Last hope for info, with reluctance:
Dear Chat GPT (mm hmm?)

"What is the status of the live Jimmy Kimmel show scheduled for this week in Brooklyn?"

More Oh nooooos... "Hearing it here first" (sorry if I sniffle): it's over...

Holy #CancelCulture Spatman! It's over. No more real reality.
