There is something of a parasitic quality about advertising. It feeds on the organisms of noncommercial culture - the culture's past and present, ideology and myths, politics and customs, art and architecture, literature and music, and even its religions.... For example, women are commodified to sell everything from cars to colognes.... Advertising thus pimps its products.
