Advertising has allways been, and should be a monarchy.The question begs who is in charge,and what values do they represent.I.e some "clients" should be shown away,educated and carefully screened, to avoid the industry becoming a bigger joke than it currently is.Enticing the "weak-minded or young target" by means of clever manipulation,with the sole aim of parting them with cash,is only for the heartless,greedy or maybe uninformed.Advertising should consider the holistic brand experience - with some insight into the future.Integrity,knowledge,wisdom and creativity will,combined,produce credible,responsible and refreshingly new experiential media,services and product.
The ads are what make your crappy magazine. If you don't want the ads then you won't have the magazine - such is life, get over it and just turn the pages quickly if they bother you so much. I don't thing gossip/naughty should be used in the same sentence as enlightening. Plato is enlightening not FHM!!! Grow up and read something of substance like Junk Mail.
