Has commercialization taken over the world? Every week for the last 3 weeks my Music prof keeps bringing up the Olympics and why he thinks that Canada lost the bid. He makes a valid point that sponsors rallied for China because they would get more out of their advertising dollar. The population of Canada is a drop in the hat compared to that of China, sponsors would be able to reach more people. The question is do companys like Swatch really have that much control?


Probably. Look what companies are already trying to do.Pepsi started a Generation (of individuals who are cool and drink pepsi) and Labatt wants us to free our time so we can go enjoy life (preferably with a nice cold bottle of labatt). Where do we draw the line?
