And what happens when your product isin't all that? When it isin't very relatable and you don't want to show too much of what a crap product it is? You work around it and make your paper.

That's what advertising is. A system to convince people who labour in jobs they don't like to buy things they don't need.
Don't get me wrong, some adverts do cover the criteria that I've specified in previous posts, but quite a lot are too consumed on glamourisation.
