Much of the messy advertising you see on television today is the product of committees. Committees can criticize advertisements, but they should never be allowed to create them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Political advertising ought to be stopped. It's the only really dishonest kind of advertising that's left. It's totally dishonest.
Any committee that is the slightest use is composed of people who are too busy to want to sit on it for a second longer than they have to.
When governments rely increasingly on sophisticated public relations agencies, public debate disappears and is replaced by competing propaganda campaigns, with all the accompanying deceits. Advertising isn't about truth or fairness or rationality, but about mobilising deeper and more primitive layers of the human mind.
Advertising is speech. It's regulated because it's often effective speech.
Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed.
We have almost a city has probably two or three hundred committees. Every committee is dealing with just one problem and has nothing to do with the other problems.
Advertisements may be evaluated scientifically; they cannot be created scientifically.
I am convinced that in the arts, committees are useless.
I wish all consumers were as gullible as advertising's biggest critics. Anyone who believes advertising is that powerful will believe almost anything.
When you don't have accountability, there's no limit to the things that people will say. One of the restraints on the vitriol and the filth that so often is part of the American political debate is that candidates have to stand by their ads.
