Advertising has always been a form of manipulation that's "ok". In the end, advertising has not always been the most ethical way to get the word out. All the random blinking pictures during the movies, the army trying to recruit soldiers by displaying untrue promises. There are so many things that are wrong with advertising. However, like the advertising professor said, if you blame advertising for the bad things, you have to blame them for the good things. So, I do. I love advertisements and there entertainment value. Even the late night infomercials I enjoy to watch. They can reach the confines of your home, get into my mind, and make me honestly think I want what they have to offer. For the longest time I thought cingular had the least amount of dropped calls, so I bought a cingular phone. Then I read an article saying the company would have to quit airing there commercials beca
use facts were proved that the information was incorrect. I was lied to! And yet I believed! Oh well, but what I am saying is it can deceive and perhaps stop kids from doing drugs, either way,they are effective and should be allowed.
