I'm not saying it's always (or ever) necessarily a good thing, but fer crissakes, aren't there about 10 trillion things in the world that need more attention than ripping on stupid ads (and our ad culture in general) and the people who make them? Yes, advertising can be despicable, ubiquitious and downright annoying, but who made you king of declaring all things good or bad, and can you give me a job? :wink: There's plenty of things in the world to be morally indignant about (and Bill Hicks carries the banner proudly in the battle for biggest hipocrate), but there are a$$holes of varying degrees in every profession. Why not channel all that bile and energy into something that actually matters instead of trying to rally everyone around the barrel full of fish you just shot?
