"Good marketing/advertising" is designed for one thing only and that is you 
to give the company your cash.  They are not concerned with anything else. 
As an artform it is manipulative and uses psycholgical techniques designed 
to make one believe their life will be better as a result of buying into the 
product/lifestyle, sounds like a shit form of art to me, be as well saying 
that the way governments manipulate the populase can be an artform..'spose 
one could say that, not my asthetic tho...
