Nothing surprises me with my interactions with media, every company needs some way to promote their product to the consumer, or find a way to create an interesting story for some to read. They find a way to advertise this media just about anywhere, so everyone can easily interact with it and are a part of it. I feel the same exposure to the media as everyone else. The media is everywhere and everyone experiences it the same way. It might be a little too much, but I think it is good to be a part of it as some of these products advertised might be important or intriguing to you when you see them.
