• Advertisers are self-obsessed hypocrites and nihilists who gradually shape and transform our lifes into a consumerist rat-race.
• Talented people waste their skills on bringing success to toilet paper, anti-flu medication and other equally important things.
• Ad agencies manage to trap some of the most creative and talented people (where do you get easier cash for your talent, advertisement or art?).
• With an ever greater gap between the budgets of advertisement and pr-firms and media companies, advertisers have a massive influence and impact on media.
• Advertisers who order, produce, influence, undermine, buy, collect, sell art have a massive impact on art. One example: visual styles of movies who are more and more influenced by ads.
• The bigger picture: the actual state of the world vs. what advertisers do to make it even worse.
• The bigger picture part two: the actual state of the world vs. what the skilled people who work in advertisement could but don't do to make it better.

Boy, I'm glad I'm out of that scene! Who comes up with more rants?
