do you consider advertisements people who use coke, cyberpunk, frisbee, jet ski, photoshop or roomba?

    Just because Americans are comfortable with genercising brands doesn't change the fact that they're subliminal marketing/advertising.

    If anything your link should wake people up to the power of these adverts and why they should be resisted.

    I vacuum my floor, I don't Hoover™ my floor.

    I search, I don't Google™.

    I travel or taxi, I don't Uber™.

    If you're free to use corporate trade names for verbs, instead of commonly understood verbs. Then surely by the same logic I'm free to ridicule that usage?
