Ads are as pure brainwashing as the definition allows for, literally changing your subconscious behavior by ceaseless repetition. It's considered torture under the Geneva convention, not sure how people got to the point where they think this is ok on radio, tv, billboards, everywhere all the time 24/7, but I have a feeling the brainwashing played a role.
