Most advertisement is stupid anyway, and it's not hard to ignore something that's stupid. You gotta train your brain to simply ignore it or laugh at it (not in a ridicule type way, but more of a laugh of pity for how sad the ads are). If you let yourself get too angry with ads or begin to think there is a conspiracy, then they do start taking control of your life, well, you make the choice to let them effect your life, therefor it was the weakness in you that brought it about. If you let ads effect your life by obeying them, then your just stupid lol
Does the conscious mind have control over the subconscious? What about the reptile brain? I laugh at ads all the time, and I don't feel like they influence my life - they certainly don't make me angry. It's more the fact that the ads exist at all that is upsetting..

Advertising is not the problem. Greed and materialism is the problem. One could argue that advertising fuels materialism but ultimately it is the person that decides how important material gain is in their lives. If you made some great new invention you wouldn't want to advertise it and let people know about it? Advertising can be annoying but it is not running anybody's life.

Advertising is a necessary part of human life. It's not the problem. The problem that affects advertising is greed and living in a consumer-driven materialistic society.
If you don't watch tv, or buy into american consumerism like I do, you're much more likely to be offended.
Advertising gets more devious all the time.
People really don't need it. They should instead be advertising in an advertisement magazine, that helps shoppers make choices. And put pressure on companies to stop deception in their advertisment.

That is just plain ridiculous. How can you say something so absurd and then not back it up?

advertising is good. It allows things to exist that otherwise wouldn't (or at higher prices) like this site, and most of the internet. It allows companies to increase sales/profits.
Not to say its not damn annoying in many forms. Got rid of my TV... couldn't stand that crap anymore... too absurd. I felt like I was constantly watching a parody of itself.
