• Advertising doesn't cause addictions. But it does create a climate of denial and it contributes mightily to a belief in the quick fix, instant gratification, the dreamworld, and escape from all pain and boredom.

Addiction begins with the hope that something "out there" can instantly fill up the emptiness inside. Advertising is all about this false hope.
