I don't have cable TV and I use an ad blocker here so I only watch the best Super Bowl or Europe's Best ads for example and only when I feel like it but I have to admit that on the creative side these people work very hard and I am often impressed by their brilliant ideas and irreverent sense of humour, the entertainment factor is vital, that's why I personally disagree with political and pharmaceutical ads, where's the fun? WAZZAAAAAA!

$2 billion spent on online advertising in 1999. Now it is almost $700 billion.
The internet change the game, they need to do another show for the last 20 years

Any Noam Chomsky fans here?

Alek Klimov says:

You cannot buy happiness. These advertisements are hollow lies told with the sole purpose of exploiting the public. Now, in the midst of the recent corporate coup d'etat, it is time to see through these illusions & drive a steak into the heart of these vampiric con artists!

Alek Klimov says:

Fuck Edward Bernays!

Alek Klimov says:

What a brainwashed culture these advertisers have helped to create. Mass media uses such distractions to profit off of the misinformed masses & divert their minds from meaningful subjects, such as how many industries pollute our air & water supply. Everything seems to be justified if it's good for the economy, even if it is at the peril of our health. These vampires will be exposed to the light of day!

BriBaby says:
