I can't remember a time (other than news and weather people), that i thought all of it was real, and i knew from early on what an actor/actress was. so... that's my thoughts and opinions on it.

That's interesting - I was shocked when I heard a younger person talk about aspirin or something like that, quoting a tv commercial as if it were factual. They were saying something weird about it, really unprovable, like it acts 10 times faster - I mean it wasnt that, but something weird like that, that was so blatantly hype, so obviously a lie - but the kid took it as truth and was preaching it to someone else. I was like, omg, what is going on here?
