As Lee Camp says, the sheep have good excuses for falling in line.  People allow TV commercials tell them how to live their lives.   It’s not that the commercials directly tell you what to do, but that when you think that you need to buy things you don’t need, you have committed yourself to a series of bad choices, often including a job you work for the money only.
