Is the problem with advertizing ruining the economy?
Back in economics class they taught me that advertising is needed to keep commerce going.
Now in the past few years the people who have lots of money to spend have gotten things like tivo and DVDplayers, so they watch TV without looking at the advertising. If you are watching something you recorded you can fast forward thru the commercials. They also have satelite radio so they don't hear radio advertising.
I would think that the result of this would be consumers will stop buying crap they don't need, because the advertising is not reaching them.
Therefore there is less commerce.
While witches were burned in Europe, in America this never happened. In Salem a few witches were hung and a warlock died when they put to many stones on his chest.

Hate it all you want! This is still America & we can still prosper. Move to the middle east or/and where you have not much rights or anything like we do here. When are you ppl going to start being proud of this fact & stop all the complaining? Until we come up w/a better idea...get use to it1 Ya think you'd would be by now.
I know that they need to curb (should) some of the sleaze & pornography,but would you much rather have the Sharia laws instead,then you be 'forbidding' to even be here on the inter webs let alone have an opinion.
Did you know that in the 1600s they burned ppl for being falsely accused for being a witch? Yeah,the Salem w/trails. Well in the middle east they just sliced off another women's head for witch craft...was she doing this?Probably not but them being on the forbidding internets show them our old history & it sounded like a plan to them
I know you wanted someone to agree w/you,but the way things are going i can not! I did answer this in the last Q u ask on this. I want you & others to know that you must be thankful for all we do have thus far~ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201112...

Advertising is not the same as it was earlier. Though TV commercials are still considered to be most effective and that's the reason mainstream advertising agencies and planners are minting money. But people get motivated to buy by various other communication strategies. the traditional advertising has very little role to play in commerce these days. Being India as anyone else advertisers will also realize when it is too late. And advertising agencies will do their best to fool around till they can draw money from advertisers.
As far as less commerce is concerned, catch hold of FM, PM or other Ms for this inflationary trends which just won't go away in hurry. Where is money left with people to spend?
