I'm no fan of advertising, but we do live in a capitalistic society. Everything we do is pitched toward spending more money. Why do you think you are even going to see that movie? Probably because you saw an advertisement to see it. We buy into it every day without even knowing it.
The alternatives? You could always become amish or communist.
I don't like them, but if it really bugged me that much I would stop going to movies. Thats how free enterprise works. If enough people stop going to the movies because of the advertising, then they will pull them. Thats what the main article is about.
