Now that the excuse for a football game is ended, we can say this: all those MadAve madmen may think they're being oh so clever. But never forget: Advertising is big business's first line of offense, and it bolsters its attack by causing offense. Add P&Gs with their psychotic obsession to treat their customers as infants, sprinkle heavily ad-reliant companies like BANKS and CAR MAKERS into the mix, companies that are now WARDS of the STATE -- and pour into this festering stew the greatest Ponzi of them all -- and you have a recipe for a homicidal hatred of business. How much of the slow-motion disaster in our economy is people being tired of having other people scream at them what to buy?
