The best answer to advertising is the firing squad.
Not very effective against corporate persons.
it would, however, discourage real persons from working in advertising for corporate non-persons.
the firing squad should also, of course, apply to those giving instructions to or soliciting advertising personenel.
Sometimes they merely provide us with information of products and availability that is very useful, but when they overpromote and oversell, then they definitely need it fed back to them, several orders of magnitude more in quantity, and even more dubious quality. For the executives, their next meals, indefinitely, should be plates of cash, to be eaten, and very much not to purchase food. There are ways of providing salutory lessons, especially if they can divert the future generations from such counterproductive activities. The other thought would be to put them on a prison farm, where what they eat, wear and any accommodation is solely the results of their physical efforts. Make it more so, then all the "tools" and "implements" are what they can fashion by hand from what grows and the soil and such. Back to the stone age, without being taught how to knap an edge, and probably no suitable stone.
