Quote - ...It seems to me that CG will soon be more real than real reality...

It already is to many people.
'Reality' is a subjective term; it is subject to perception. All widely circulated media is digital and heavily manipulated/post worked. If a person's perception is based on hollywood/5th avenue media, then [sadly] that is more real to them than what they see everyday with their own eyes. 5th avenue (advertising) is particularily adept at this.

It is called 'creative marketing' by advertisers; i.e. create a market and then sell products to fill a perceived need.  How could they sell billions of dollars worth of make-up every year if everybody was happy with a no make up look?
They aim towards people's vanity, laziness, and ignorance. Universal human traits that we all share to some degree; so it is very effective.

-Hey guys, want to have Penthouse Pets (the air brushed facimile, of course) cat fighting to crawl into your bed? Use Brand Y Aftershave...'scent is everything' ;)
It's just business. If the approach didn't work, it wouldn't be used. Blame it on the buyers as much as on the sellers. "It takes two to tango".
