Article from The New York Times

I've readen an article from the New york times called: Would you buy a new car from Eva Longoria. Here is the link for the article:

Here is some notes taken from the article:

- In the 50s a marketing consultant introduces a new selling technique through the consummer subconsions.

- Fears about corporations using this technique rose quickly, which leaded to an issuing of disclosal by the Federal Communications Commission against it.

- Nowadays, corporations have found a new way of persuasion by embedding commercials into tv shows like American Idole, The office...

- Several tv shows were sponsored by companies that includes products on the show as normal, but that's their goal.

- Questions were made about wheter we should let this practice without disclosure or not.

- The problem is not to disclose commercials in a Tv show, but telling the truth about the product is the real matter.
