There are forms of advertising that I think are good, but
"good" is of course not mapped one-to-one-and-unto
with *success*. Here are two Packard automobile
company slogans:
(1) Ask the man who owns one,
(2) Every owner a salesman.
And, directed inward [on their service bulletins]:
(3) We learn from others.
Packard failed to survive, for whatever reasons.
"You've got to wonder" how grown men can do and say
the sh-t they do and say in the pursuit of their employer's
bottom line. Somewhere is a distant galaxy, far from here,
sometime long ago [the speed of light
is 186000 miles per second, even if the speed of business
is increasable and even accelarable without limit, you know],
a manager wrote a memo announcing that their
product had got an OK to ship and said manager complimented
all the persons who worked overtime and weekends to
get the project out but that there were too many
of them to name them all....
As Solschenitsyn lamented: "So long as we wake under a peaceful
sun we must lead an everyday life" -- In a different direction,
Edmund Husserl observed that security of everyday
life was a precondition for philosophy, and Josef P{ieper
urged that leisure is the basis of culture....
