at the risk of being histrionic, I view ads as memetic viruses. when you think about what an ad is actually is trying to achieve, its pretty wild that we just accept them as the status quo.

There are people who will literally fight you if you bad mouth their "Brand." Not to mention the trillions of dollars wasted on products that literally do nothing or are actively harmful to their users. It's insanity. The most insidious part is that by the time advertising has completed it's work, most people don't even know that their ideas originated from an advertisement.
