"how advertising informs to our benefit"
I think it is ridiculous that the government does not give enough funding to those who need it for a legitimate purpose. for example the federal trade commission (FTC). the FTC discovered that a higher fiber diet can reduce the risk of some types of cancer. this i feel is a very important message and deserves a significant amount funding to get the message out to the general public. instead they needed to take "advantage" of a cereal that had high fiber content and make a commercial to sell the cereal, but at the same time it served as a public announcement. it's sad that a government program needs to rely on a company to carry there message that i feel is important enough to broadcast throughly and should receive more funding in order to get that message across.
