When you live in a media culture that operates off making people feel insecure about every aspect of their lives in order to profit off selling "fixes" for those insecurities, thing like this are the natural and logical outcome.
You aren't popular enough! Drink more alcohol! You aren't masculine enough! Buy a pick-up truck! You aren't feminine enough! Wear more makeup! You aren't respected enough! Invest in luxury status symbols! You aren't happy enough! Distract yourself with the latest gadgets and electronics! You aren't patriotic enough! Support our troops! You aren't political enough! Fund these politicians! You aren't trendy enough! Buy the latest fashions! You aren't healthy enough! Try the fad diet of the month! You are inadequate! Give us your money!
