A newspaper is an oversized book with adverts and an expiry date.

[T]he real lie that advertising tells is not so much in what it shows, but in what it leaves out.

I always hear parents talking about how outraged they are because their kid saw a boob or something like that on TV.

If I had kids, I'd be outraged about that.

What American would not want truthful and complete information about every product sold in the United States so that we can be more capable of making wise decisions concerning our lives and the lives of our loved ones? These are our friends and our family members suffering from so many forms of cancer, several diseases of the heart, emphysema, poor circulation, blindness, strokes, various skin disorders, bad breath, asthma, poverty, clogged arteries, disfigurement, rotting teeth and gums, birth defects, infertility, sexual dysfunction, high blood pressure, aneurysms, complications during pregnancies, and all too often a slow and painful death. These suffering people are also many of us.

All of us somehow felt that the next battleground was going to be culture. We all felt somehow that our culture had been stolen from us _ by commercial forces, by advertising agencies, by TV broadcasters. It felt like we were no longer singing our songs and telling stories, and generating our culture from the bottom up, but now we were somehow being spoon-fed this commercial culture top down.
