Meat and potatoes
are fine as a base
but drizzle of gravy
heightens the taste
insuring no id bits
are going to waste
since Cash Cows are phatter
cloaked in Bernays!
Start with crowd reasoning
* flash it and pan *
foil it & season it,
infuse high demand then
Freudian browbeat in it
marketing plan and
oil the deep seediest
urges in man.
You wanna get women?
Buy this new car!
Does waistline need trimming?
Try this new bar!
You don’t feel like grinning?
These pills are top drawer!
And trust us, you must
‘cuz we sell who you are.
Your buttons our stove top
and appetites’ gauged
illusion of option
confined to a stage
a fine-dining, dinner show
Chef will appraise
Not Cash Cows—they’re dead now
—and shadier’s made.

The German phrase: “es freut mich” means “it brings me joy”. Being punny, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to double entendre that, since Freud was the Uncle of Edward Bernays, aka Daddy of PR, and employed his Uncle’s techniques (among others) to good effect. (for himself and the retail industry)

The way advertising is, this makes perfect sense in the way they try to change us to their ways
Yeah, I watched a documentary about Bernays, the nephew of Freud and “the father of public relations” With so much at “steak”, we never had a chance…
Reblogged this on tot123itsme and commented:
Beautiful piece of poetry…
Now this is “echte Freude”…danke vielmals, Toad…:) Du bist im Herzen!! ❤
This is a new language for me SS~ sorry I’m so ignorant 😦
Just how the basis of all mass media is Freudian–truly playing on our subconscious. The “father of PR” was Ed Bernays, his double nephew (Siggy’s)
and well, Bernays = Bernaise >lil bit<…a viscous coating (or creamy) doesn't really matter. Covering up the core.
SS I seldom watch TV but indeed, men are very shtred, deceptive and, as a very holy man warned us– be careful of men’s secret combinations… Counterfeits are very sad discoveries! xo
