It's called marketing - and if it repels 10 folks but attracts 100 folks, then it's considered successful marketing.
so I take it that you'd be OK with totalitarianism as long as it's marketed in a good way!

you have said you see nothing wrong with the ad and that it is just marketing. Those of us who have pointed out that this is much more than marketing have been ridiculed as being to serious. I take it to mean that if totalitarianism is marketed well you wouldn't see a problem with it and that those of us who do see a problem should just lighten up a bit!

I don't see the ad as part of a vast left wing conspiracy, if that's what you mean. If I saw it as a enviro conspiracy or a communist conspiracy or a NAMBLA conspiracy then I wouldn't think that marketing it is okay.

And if you call me naive I'll call you paranoid!
