almost all advertising feeds on the so-called seven deadly sins in one form or another. it's a regrettably effective form of persuasion.
as a salesman, I'm encouraged on a daily basis to use fear as a tool "for our customer's benefit"
as for ignoring the state of the world and the role certain companies played in its development, it's not always a conscious decision.
