Advertising is the greatest lie of all

As long as human beings remain human, advertising has to go on. No matter how it's going to change or evolve as each day passes, the basic tenets of advertising will never change. Envy will express itself in many ways, but will envy change to something else? Never. Will our sex drive change? I don't think so, unless God plays a prank on us. Some people think we are the most over sexed generation, but I prefer to differ. We are perhaps, the most under sexed rather. Because early man, at least, never hesitated to have sex, where ever, when ever he feels like making it out with his female counter part.

Today's generation browses through porn sites for lack of the original stuff! But then, we're actually deviating from the main subject. So, to come back, advertising is really a reflected lie that we love to believe in. One half of our brain says it's all crap, the other half would be tempted to at least try out the fantasy and see whether it's going to come true. Check viagra sales figures for 2006-2007 and you'll know what I am talking about.

Well, if you think this is interesting, I will come back with more thoughts.
