Advertisers fight back | News.blog | CNET News.com

Read this article about some marketing exec calling advertising "one of the most socially responsible industries in America". That made me laugh uncontrollably for a little bit. Advertising is and continues to be more deceptive and full of nonsense that this gasbag can't form a proper defense to why advertising causes "social ills". To me, it's just another high-level form of social control through public manipulation, but that's just me. I love advertisers. I mean loathe.
