Contrary to popular belief, Americans don't hate advertising.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People don't generally like advertising that takes a stand.

Advertising reflects the mores of society, but it does not influence them.

Ninety-nine percent of advertising doesn't sell much of anything.
If you don't like an ad, why should anybody else?... We're all consumers... That's why I always create commercials for myself first of all. I am the consumer I know best. If I think it's a great commercial, I figure the rest of the people might think so, too. I haven't been wrong so far.
Advertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money.
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.
I grew up in a country where advertising doesn't exist.
The public doesn't particularly care for advertisements.
