This of course is already happening - happened? southern english has a tense "been happening" that is perfect.

As soon as the techniques of marketing/market research are applied to everything (and they have been) there is no safe ground to stand on.

have you seen http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/persuaders/vie.../

as well as having an awesome section on the Juggalos it talks about the feedbackloops market research produces.

"Been happening" is Southern English? Thought everyone says that... I say that, but I don't live in the South. Huh.

Juggalos are amazing. They are almost like some sort of biblical tribe.
