Ops! Sorry.

I think we may agree on the problems of banning advertising. I would not go so far as to think that advertising as it currently exists is basically a good thing.

A lot of advertisement is simple, informative and aimed at a specific public. Think small newspaper ads or the ads in professional magazines. People value these. In fact, some magazines are hardly more than collected job ads.

I think television advertisement is a very specific, and relatively harmful version of advertisement. It's not informative, expensive and broadcast, meaning it hits everyone, including lots of people outside their targets
