happy b-day rocknbil :D

The reason I feel they are oil and water is because I look at it this way: I know people are misserable, and to sell a product I must make people think they will be happy if they buy my product (which I KNOW won't make them happy)

If I was going to be honest and moral, I would not tell them that the best thing they can do is BUY.

However, I feel the same way about advertisers as I do lawyers. Most products (with the exeption of alcohol/tabaco/gambling/anything else that is adictive) just like defendants deserve fair and just treatment by the system, so that the public decides who surfaces and who sinks. Of course this concept is by no means fool proof, but it is the best alternative when cosidering the other options.

And for the record, I feel a deep respect to whover can mix advertising and morality and still be successful, because I can't.
