Here's how we fix a society that's already drowning in advertising .. more advertising.

    I swear sometimes that at this point all we produce as a country is ads. People in marketing mock their customers (source: was in marketing to make better wages than journalism for less than a year) and think they're doing the lord's work because of their salaries.
