What if you're buddhist?

  There are many flavors of Buddhism, which one matters here for the point you are making? EDIT - I am not sure why I am being downvote, I legitimately don't get his point and figured I would for more info rather than just calling him out as a troll or something. Is there something obvious I should know?

    Disclaimer: I know nothing of Buddhism, I haven't even read the Wikipedia page I believe some Buddhism teaches something along the lines of: personal possessions are bad, and freedom is found in not owning anything. I think OP is saying: advertising goes directly against that line of thinking. It is actually tempting a Buddhist to buy more stuff, thus going against their religion.

  "Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes while being informed about ten local places to purchase God with next-day delivery."
