Sometimes, I think of how much good could be done with all the money that goes into advertisements. Even if we just put all that money in The Onion's Money Hole™, so all the ads disappear, but nothing else changes, the world would still be a better place. Now imagine how much better public transit systems we could have, or better healthcare, or better social benefits. Even if we just spent all the money on a solid 80 foot golden cock and balls, that would still be a better use of money, since it atleast isn't actively making the world a more hostile place. But no, we can't have nice things.
