Anyone else watching this? It's on for three hours straight!!!

Quite interesting so far, it started off comparing corporations to psychopaths and now they're going to the ethics of marketing and how you get X% sales if you get kids to nag their parents etc. Selling dreams & lifestyles not products directly, that kind of thing. Not sure what the next HOUR AND A HALF is going to bring... did I mention it was on for three hours???

I lasted till about 23:40, it was all getting a bit samey. They focused on the enviromental stuff for the last hour or so. Personally I think a lot of it was quite romanticised, not much time spent on the positive sides of commerce & industry.
Also why one three hour sitting? why not three one hour shows, would have been much easier to watch and probably kept more of an audience too! Anyway I think I'm whittering away to myself here now so it's bed time for me
