    I’m starting to think that without the advertisement industry that the whole world’s capitalistic societies would collapse. Where else is value so subjective that you can earn a million bucks if you are slightly famous and in a 30 second commercial.

      I honestly don’t understand ads and people who “fall” for them. There were a few local ads here of locally famous footballer next to a Hyundai and a slogan like: blabla gives Hyundai two thumbs up. Why would he care? What does he know about cars? He’s not even pretending to drive a Hyundai irl.
