i totally agree with everything you had to say, however, the reality that we live in is that people are uneducated and a lot of them are susceptible to advertising; and it's not going to change, at least in our lifetime. The thing is that these giant corporations know this as well and are taking advantage of it. That's why some of them will spend more on advertising then on r&d. The real question is, should we allow them to take advantage of people who are susceptible and uneducated. I think no, but some might think otherwise.
