"You should have done X Y or Z" makes me want to stab the person in the eye with a fork.
I also LOATHE con advertising:
"SALE! UP TO X% off"
"FROM as little as $X"
"Buy now and receive a free purple wanglemurtzle valued at $5000"
"The first 100 callers get seventeen for the price of one"
"Try it free for 30 days"
PLUS almost every toothpaste, cosmetics*,shampoo and breakfast cereal ad.
I hate advertising almost as much as I hate politics;both are innately amoral in my opinion.
*One big cosmetic company (Estee Lauder I think) was massively fined here for making therapeutic claims for its 'anti-aging' cosmetic.
