Quote: <i>In all advanced societies around the world, advertising has been a central contributor to assuring such freedom and diversity of expression and economic action.</i><p>Ha ha ha ha ha! I almost wet myself. In what parallel universe has advertising been anything other than a homogenizing censor of unpleasant viewpoints? And sometimes a mechanism of censorship and control - I&#x27;m thinking here of the newspaper stories that got spiked because they might offend a big advertiser.<p>What a pompous, self-deluded fool.
