The Source, an electronics store in Canada, may have had one of the worst slogans ever, "I want that". Their commercials show a guy going into the store to buy batteries and then seeing cameras, TVs, computers, etc and saying I want that and that and that.
Materialism is an idol in our society and it comes from wanting more and more stuff. The stuff we buy ends up controlling us rather than helping us. We protect our new car from scratches, we study the handbooks for our stuff so that we know how to use them but instead of being a tool they become and idol.
Remember, an idol is something that we look to for things that only God can give.
