people in marketing are scum, they'd put a neon advert on the moon if they could.
Now, get over it and bow down to the powers of truth.

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS YET YOU DEFEND THIS CRAP ! You have to be American because no one this uninformed would ever defend this kind of bullshit with no facts.

"again these examples you claim, such as the ford pinto or union carbide, have nothing to do with people in advertising."

They are advertised as safe cars and as good ol honest American companies. Lies.

""millions of kids who watch the same mcdonalds commercials as the obese little bastards and manage to still be skinny."

It's not just obesity moron ! Cancer, diabetes, learning disabilities ....you are too stupid and obviously have low reading comprehension.

again these examples you claim, such as the ford pinto or union carbide, have nothing to do with people in advertising.
those begin and end with the manufacturer.
there are millions of kids who watch the same mcdonalds commercials as the obese little bastards and manage to still be skinny.
people have been eating shitty food for over 100 years in america.
but now parents think you shouldn't instill competition into a child, so these children are lazy and fat.
not advertisings fault

Like when Ford decided it was cheaper to pay off burn victims or their families rather than recall the defective gas tanks in Pinto's.

Or Union Carbide decided it was cheaper to skirt safety standards by moving the plant to Bhopal India and murdering 20,000 villagers when 27 tons of the deadly gas methyl isocyanate got released. 500,000 still suffer from the long term health effects. No CEO got punished. No ones protecting you, no one. You are insane.

"no one is being forced to buy anything they don't want to"

Yes they are through deception. Children eating McDonald's food are being poisoned and they hide the nutritional charts so parents don't know. That's fact by the way.

"and if you think they are lying, you can legally sue them ".

No you can't. They can easily outspend you with fleets of lawyers. What a gigantic lie.

"I just manage to realize that advertising is a necessary evil in our society".

No, it isn't ! Where do you get the idea advertising has any place ?! It's like saying Americans need to be lied to !

"he benefited greatly from the capitalist system"

No he didn't, he was not rich ! He died a tobacco addict ! addict. ! He gained popularity from word of mouth, not through professional liars. Lying about products abilities is anti-capitalism ! It's selling bullshit !

hey man, I don't like alot of advertising. but they have as much of a right to push their product as anyone else.
that's how our country runs.
no one is being forced to buy anything they don't want to
and if you think they are lying, you can legally sue them.
harmful chemicals are not the problem of a team of marketers, that's the responsibility of the manufacturers and the government orginizations paid to protect us

are you implying that I'm an advertising ceo?
I'm a 20 year old engineering student. I just manage to realize that advertising is a necessary evil in our society. I never said hicks was mainstream either. all I said was that he benefited greatly from the capitalist system he loved to rail against.
making him a hypocrite
