Ads have been around as long as human societies have been around. Just look at the murals of Pompeii for example, or the rock walls in modern day Syria with commercial advertisements. As long as humans have something that others want, there will be advertising.. unfortunately.

It really is different in kind from the menu with prices someone painted on a wall around 79 CE.
