Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~Things that are truly good will develop a reputation for being so without the money wasted in this direction.
~It contributes to the uglifying of America. Look at how Scottsdale has such restrictive visual pollution ordinances. Wouldn’t it be great to drive across America and be able to actually see ~America instead of whoever wants to be a parasite on my driving?
~Too much power to influence people, who are highly prone to being influenced illegitimately by advertising.
~Most advertising relies upon idolatry of some form or another.
~Where does most of the sex, gambling, and alcohol message come from?
~Programs survive because they're popular and generate advertising, not because they are beneficial to people.
~An ad is an endorsement, but many of the products should not be endorsed.
~The airwaves are owned by the public and shouldn't be sold for mere profit.
~Advertising pollutes the entertainment industry because of the revenue model.
