advertisements: excites, disgusts, thoughts?

When I think of advertising, I think of all the annoying commercials and ads being thrown my way at every turn. For my philosophy class in high school, we watched a movie called "The Truman Show", and my teacher pointed out how the actors had to incorporate advertisements into the show itself since it was an on going "real-life" story. That is when I realized, advertising is pretty cool. Sometimes people do not even realize they are being sucked into an advertisement. After that day, I started to notice advertisements in everything; for example, a bag of Doritos being eaten by a main character in a movie, that is some sly advertising. I also find it very interesting that people make so much money off of advertisements. A big chunk of profits made are due to the fact that companies advertise themselves well. So now, when I see a commercial or the same ads posted at every street corner, it doesn't annoy me as much anymore.
