I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If its not done ethically, advertising won't be trusted. If consumers don't trust it, advertising is pointless.
Advertising at its worst will be killed by the Internet. And rightly so.
I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death.
If people ever talked the way advertising sounded, they would be put away.
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
In advertising not to be different is virtually suicidal.
Advertising degrades the people it appeals to; it deprives them of their will to choose.
Sad to say, negative advertising really works.
Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed.
Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
