Marketing - friend or foe?

[Blurock]

It is the extent to which marketers are "pushing the boundaries" of acceptable responsibility, moral, ethic and human value and the effect of this on societys well being that troubles me. And yes, what is acceptable/unacceptable to me is not necessararily the same for another or even across cultures but the point is that their has to be a limit at given that we, the current generation, have a responsibility to add value to the next generation. With that comes a responsibility to draw the boundary lines and act against mattes we adjudicate does not act in the best interest of society or threatnes the future generation.

I can not agree more. Every car needs a brake. The brake is not there to impair movement, but to prevent the car from being involved in an accident.

Can you give us some examples of unacceptable marketing?

Can you give us some examples of unacceptable marketing?

I could, but the examples I'm thinking of are likely to offend.
