Even if you are only afflicted by advertising, I recommend that you read Dr. Benton's book.  If you produce advertising, the list in Chapter 5 of video-sharing sites is, by itself, worth the price of the book.  Conceptually, this book extremely well-grounded for a book on this subject.  Not only is Dr. Benton well versed in modern behavioral science, but he grounds his approach on the important phenomenon of distraction, which was first emphasized by the earliest forerunner of modern existentialist philosophy Blaise Pascal.  We are distracting ourselves unto death.  If you don't recognize that as capturing the spirit of our age, then this book is not for you - but, then, no book is really for you.
