Sad to say, negative advertising really works.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a reason people run negative ads... it's because they work.
There is a great deal of advertising that is much better than the product. When that happens, all that the good advertising will do is put you out of business faster.
Dealing with ads is depressing. You don't make anyone's life better by making advertisements work better.
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.
The only way to advertise is by not focusing on the product.
Advertising is - quite often - alive to our real needs. It's just the products on offer might not be the things that will help us satisfy them.
The interesting thing about advertising is that the things that annoy us sometimes about it are really human. It's us looking at ourselves - and like all human endeavors it's imperfect.
Advertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money.
I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil.
Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
