I have to take issue with this, sorry. You may not be fully cognizant of your needs at the time you see an ad, and what if an ad tells you something about what you want rather than what you "need"? And who are you to make that call for anyone other than yourself?
- jacquesm 11y agoWell, then I have to take issue with this. Who are you to say what the grandparent is cognizant of or not? I for one do definitely not need advertising to tell me what I need, if I need advertising to tell me then I did not need it. > And who are you to make that call for anyone other than yourself? The call was made on behalf of at least on other person, but in fact that suggestion was never made in the first place.
- alexbecker 11y agoWhile I generally hate being advertised to, there are certainly times when advertising has shown me things I didn't know existed but wanted to buy as soon as I did. Especially in the case of books.
- jacquesm 11y agoI don't think we are using the word 'need' in the same way.
