Right, so I gave a rather non-child friendly humorous side to advertising, now here is a serious side.

 

Please tell your children to watch it with you, particularly if you think advertising doesn't work.

You can win that claim about advertising as you have asked, but you would also have to show a garage full of cars, iPods, iPhones, iPads, setees, big flat screen tvs, laptops, insurance, home improvement, getting on the property ladder.... you were 'forced' to buy and a million other things that are advertised. Just trying to claim one particular advert forced you to buy their product would make you look as silly as your question

Saying 'millions' is taking it to extremes, as we can only buy what we can afford. But thanks to the helpful use of 'credit' we can.

It's the idea of criminality caused by advertising is my discussion here.

But thanks for your comments conniff, and I heartily welcome more.
