It's funny, I don't really mind advertisements. I mean, I feel like as long as you have a discerning eye and know what the company is, what they're selling and why you don't want it, you can actually enjoy them.

I see many commercials as art with a purpose, and I enjoy them a lot. Target commercials, car commercials, apple ads, they're all very artful and I respect them for that. It doesn't mean I'm going to go out and buy all their products, or that I'm somehow controlled by those corporations. I'm not saying all ads are creative, those myspace ads are hideous, but I understand why they're there and I think it's just another part of our culture. We just have to be smart consumers.

Of course, I think I'm in the minority here, and I may feel very differently once I take all those media ethics classes in college.
