[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 312578"] In the ([b]potentially-present[/b]) matter of Paid Product Placement (a fairly widespread industry practice), there is the consequent Market Manipulation strategy to consider. Every new "fashion trend" is established via disguised advertising. "Venitian Blinds" were an obscure invention until they were worked into a popular movie. Within a couple of years they were everywhere. How many "Rebels Without a Cause" were there until James Dean films ? It's not just exposure, it's the right exposure (context) that 'frames" something as new, cool, trend-setting, hip & must-have. If asked for an opinion (and I'm not), it would likely be that this would be a suspected factor in the matter, pointing out that the further out a proposed new fashion is, the less likely it is to get over. Look at (if you can stand to and it seems interesting enough to be worth the time) the number of bizarre "new fashions" that prance down the runway every year in Paris and New York, and how many of them change the landscape. You can, however, inure people to seeing something they don't like. Once it's "everywhere" in that little world for a long enough time, the intensity of the dislike tends to wear out. FWIW (assuming anything at all) :face: [/QUOTE]
