Advertising at best can be both brilliant and inspirational. As a communication aid it can be used to persuade us to buy things we don't really want or need, get us to vote for unsuitable political parties or use services that may or may not be ultimately useful to the consumer.
Advertising can also be cool and iconic. The slogan, the brand, the image - they're all instantly recognisable by implementing clever advertising. Not a soul on the planet is ignorant as to what a can of Coca Cola looks like or the infamous golden arches of McDonald's (maybe that's a sweeping generalisation but you get the drift).
Even those darn PG Tips chimps are etched into the British consumers memory bank. As ethically challenging as it was, we still talk about it and therefore still talk about PG Tips tea.
With that said, how, on God's Green Earth, are we allowing ads like this to pollute the ether of the media?!
What a load of wink.
