Excerto do excelente documentário: THE CORPORATION





Capítulo 11: Basic Training

«Marketing has transformed itself into a sophisticated, pervasive force that extends into every part of our lives. Slick advertising campaigns are designed for the express purpose of manipulating children into buying products and training them to become mindless consumers of goods they don't really want. The Nag factor, a marketing study that evaluated the effect of nagging, was designed to teach children how to nag more effectively. Consumers are made, not born.»

Nag (nag)
Transitive verb
nagged, nagging nag′·ging
To annoy by continual scolding, faultfinding, complaining, urging, etc. So, to "nag" is to go on and on and on about the same thing, hoping to convince someone to do something.
