What would the world be like without advertising?

Advertising is a stick to beat the opposition with and keep them down

Also I feel I've been manipulated all my life with the waffle

Fairer market share I think anyhow

How would I know which product to buy so I could finally achieve happiness?

For anyone seriously interested in this subject and its effects on the masses, I would highly recommend the Adam Curtis series on Youtube, Century of the Self...

Advertising seems like a nice area to work in because the possibilities are unlimited

Therein lies the problem I think

I'm open to correction

To me advertising is just an extension of human behavior.

The world would be a lot more boring.

Advertising is necessary for tv, radio stations, festivals and for a lot of creatives to eek out a living.

Some adverts are a work of art in themselves. The commercial aspect doesn't bother me.
