Yes, it's called "advertisement". Sad welcome to 2016.

Very sad welcome because somehow working in advertisement industry is considered a respectable occupation in 2016. The cognitive dissonance of the society is sometimes mind-boggling.
"You know, you smell, and look ugly, and certainly are wearing yesteryears fashions. Buy our shit and you can be almost a human again!"
(hey it works in the advertising industry. I attack your humanity on multiple levels and then show you garbage that... kind of, almost, but not really restores your humanity. Of course, you really need next months update, or you're just subhuman again! )

See the glorification of the advertising industry in a popular TV show "Mad Men"
Which is a show about how cool it is to be an asshole and ruin your own and other people's lives by making extremely selfish decisions. This is also why I won't watch House of Cards.
So, do you only watch shows about Gandhi, MLK and J. Christ?
Not sure about Mad Men, but HoC doesn't "glorify" its subject. And tons of great art is about "assholes".
The thing is, and this is a very christian message, assholes are people too.
HoC makes it seem down right cool to screw everyone you know over to attemt to dig yourself out of the massive hole you've dug yourself in to. The sad thing is that much of the American public watching this garbage believes the underlying premise, "do unto others before they do unto you."
Not sure why you're jumping on this train at this junction...
