While “Mad Men” may be the best scripted show currently on TV, it’s the real advertising profession that oozes provocation and controversy. So it’s been said:
- The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. Anonymous
- Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don’t know which half. John Wanamaker
- Advertising is legalized lying. H. G. Wells
- Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need. Will Rogers
- A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time. Henry Ford
