The evils of marketing

[ishtart]

I'm all too familiar with the evils of marketing etc. What I dont get is that I love to look at printed catalouges - when its for stuff I am interested in. What really irks me is that the generic broadcast spam is so pointless, hell half of it is empty or contains nonsensical information not even an ad. That's one of the many things I dont get about advertising.
I've often pictured marketing as a game of "Are you my mother?" going door to door to everyone "are you my customer/target audience?" Ah well back to work for the big evil...
