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
