Do you think the world would be a better place without marketing and advertising. On one hand, good and reputable (sp?) products and services get known of so people can use them etc for some benefits. Probably more things as well, but i gotta go to basketball game shortly

i guess there goes a shit load of jobs though....
anyway, on the other hand, a large part of the "social programming" is removed (probably for the better, i think), in that it tells us how we should look, feel, act and so on
Kinda feels like the world in geroge orwells 1984 (on a smaller scale), where you couldn't really think for yourself, which isn't healthy.
probably more things as well.....
your thoughts?
