To Alicewond:
is sell of course but with the connotation of saturation of markets with misdoings of advertising (Lozano Irueste), regards!
I\'m afraid it\'s nothing to do with markets or advertising. It\'s simply a colloquial term meaning \"to sell\".
e.g. He flogged his record collection to buy a guitar.

Explanation:
saturar al consumidor con un producto (en el sentido de que aparezca publicidad en todos los medios)

como he comentado a Michael, también podría traducirse asi, saludos!

No sé hacia dónde va todo. Quizás lo próximo sea la televisión interactiva. Últimamente se ha puesto de moda el portal, y ya todo el mundo está aburrido de los portales. Todas las empresas han hecho portales. Pero van a saturar a la gente, les van a aburrir y luego les dará por otra cosa.
