The Evils of Advertising

It’s no wonder that the advertising industry is known as being “Evil” (Cowie and Fox, The Agency of Change, excluded of course) considering they would pretty much push anything to make a buck.

Not long ago my mother was telling me about when my grandmother was younger. She went to her doctor because she was a little stressed out and was prescribed to take up smoking cigarettes of all things! She tried it for a bit, but never really enjoyed it so she quit not long after she started.

This seemed really weird to me so over the weekend I thought that I would go online and dig up some of the old cigarette ads to see just how low some of the agencies would go. These are just a few of the weird and disturbing examples that I found.
