What annoys the heck out of me is
when the adds lie. Promising one
thing and trying to deliver something
else, that to me is unethical.

I remember a recent add on TV for
Godfrey's Vacuum Cleaners, advertising
at a remarkably low price. I actually
went in to a local Godfrey's store, and
surprise, surprise - they were all out
of that particular cleaner - but they
offered me a similar one, at a higher price.

Their add campaign relied on misinformation.
Which to me was unethical. I'll never buy
from Godfrey's again.

On the other side of the coin however,
advertising is big business and how would
so many industries survive if they couldn't
sell advertising space...

Plus we wouldn't know what to buy...

Right?
