I've become obsessed

Since the assignment of visual rhetoric, I now find myself thumbing through a magazine stopping at every advertisement and analyzing the colors, the people, and the message the advertisement is presenting. I must say that it sometimes drives me crazy. I notice how the advertisements focus is on the emotions of the consumer. I enjoyed the class room discussions to hear what others perceived from the advertisements and hearing a different point of view. I was driving in my car the other day and noticed a billboard I asked my twin sons "Look at that advertisement what do you notice about the advertisement?" One of them replied "Mom your going crazy." I think maybe I am. Could I just please let myself enjoy reading a magazine without analyzing every advertisement?
