Advertising is pop culture, pop culture is defined by over-simplification, not differentiation or seeking the truth, but by embellishing the dreams and desires of the public. I'll agree that the bloggist is stretching their argument rather far but even modern day advertising can't ignore social responsibility using a pop cultural curtain. There are definite "ethical implications" in commercials such as this. You could devote an entire thread to other advertising examples both historic and modern.
