There's a lot of bad isms floating around this world, but one of the worst is commercialism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Advertising at its worst will be killed by the Internet. And rightly so.
I'm totally anti-commercialism.
Commercialism in the Western world has got us by the scruff of the neck. It's a technological takeover, and we can't even see it happening because we're too busy enjoying it.
There's so much truly putrid advertising out there it's embarrassing. But not all advertising is bad. Some of it is really quite mediocre.
I am still cautiously hopeful about the potential of the Internet. But it seems that the greatest revolution in communication has been hijacked by commercial values.
I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil.
Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
While it may be true that the best advertising is word-of-mouth, never lose sight of the fact it also can be the worst advertising.
I rarely listen to commercial radio, and when I do, I'm shocked by how many ads there are, and how annoying they are, and how bad the radio station usually is.
Liberal capitalism is not perfect, but compared to the other 'isms,' it's far superior.
