angry, but accurate view of advertising

"Advertising is considered almost the least trustworthy of all professions. Right there with lawyers and used-car salesmen. The public doesn’t trust us, and neither do our clients. And we wonder why. I said it at the beginning, and I’ll say it here: Our true nature is most evident in the way we treat those below us in the chain of command. If you’re a jerk, the world knows."

I've been reading ernie's blog for a very short while, but i love his honesty and his values. i guess we're emotional twins about the business we're in. i haven't anywhere near the same number of stories about the business [even in his post here] but enough to believe the system here is the same as the system there

but the point for me, is that to do anything in this business we have to be honest, it may even be the unique part of our business
