Can marketing and advertising address philosophical issues? Well, Motorola is giving it a go with a series of ads asking people about abundance. Of course there are complexities and contradictions between the demands of the market, free-market capitalism and a host of other interrelated and complex elements that combine in the world of advertising--but who isn't complex and contradictory in life? And of course, I could go all biblical and remind us that even asses can speak for god, so perhaps ad-men can speak for philosophy. (this came via the very useful psfk site)
