Every where we turn we faced with advertising in one way or another. Advertising has become an annoying situation. Ads appears in supermarkets, banks, street, store displays and television. Since we get up in the morning commercials are showing and convincing us to buy things we don't even need. Products are advertised as the thing everybody must have, to the point that people begin to feel they need to consume it.
Aggressive advertising are annoying and most when they interrupt our life routine. My personal reaction when i get so many choices, it confuses me and I'm more likely to refuse all of them. The more products I consider, the less likely I am to purchase anything.
Marketers are also employing the principal audience by placing ads in the bathrooms. Ads in the mirror and urinals. They are being intrusive.
Publicity is essential for companies to be able to market their products successfully. Obviously The challenge of the future may be finding public and private spaces that are free of advertising.

Everyday there is a new way to publish advertisements. There is no way to escape from them. Everyone is aware of the problem but no one tries to solve it.
I lived in Nicaragua in the mid '80's, doing my part to help stabilize that country in the wake of their successful revolution for independence from the American puppet dictator Anastasio Somoza. One of the things the leftist Sandinista government instituted was a ban on billboards and other types of consumer-oriented advertising. While it could be argued that this is an infringement on free speech, I truly appreciated the respite it gave me from the consumeristic bomberdment we live through here in the US. I believe it also helped people to build a more soulful society, with a focus on the things that really matter in life, and not the latest shade of make-up or celebrity perfume.
