Advertising is it that bad?

Church of the Customer: They said it: George Orwell Liked this quote from George Orwell: "Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket." But what about these: "I honestly believe that advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on." - Jerry Della Famina "Advertising is the greatest art form of the twentieth century." - Marshall McLuhan "Advertising is the life of trade." - Calvin Coolidge "Ninety-nine percent of advertising doesn't sell much of anything." - David Ogilvy Advertising is "[a] ten billion dollar a year misunderstanding with the public." - Chester L. Posey, Senior V.P. & Creative Director, McCann Erickson
