As advertising blather becomes the nation's normal idiom, language becomes printed noise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nearly every communication method we invent eventually conveys unwanted commercial messages.
I'm sure 50 percent of television ads use rhyme.
Ever since the arrival of printing - thought to be the invention of the devil because it would put false opinions into people's minds - people have been arguing that new technology would have disastrous consequences for language.
Commercial speech is like obscenity... we can't seem to define it, but we know it when we see it.
Advertising is the life of trade.
Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink.
Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.
On the other hand, in a society whose communication component is becoming more prominent day by day, both as a reality and as an issue, it is clear that language assumes a new importance.
If people ever talked the way advertising sounded, they would be put away.
When you create advertising, always start with the words.
