It should be illegal to use children, handicap, illness and death to promote products unless all of your money goes to helping just those things.
- briandear 9y agoWhy? Why should the government have a say in how people promote products? Unless they are being fraudulent, why can’t the consumer simply use their own brains to decide what to buy?
- jasonkostempski 9y agoYou're right, I hate laws that try to fix problems like that. And I hate that "it should be illegal..." phrase. It should be illegal to use that phrase. I used it lazily to convey how exploiting emotions to sell products and views makes me angry. > why can’t the consumer simply use their own brains to decide what to buy? I wish I knew.
