On the Deceptions of Advertising

Interesting article to propose for Hacker News: it's essentially pointing out unrepairable lies at the heart of the best advertisements. Hacker News readers aren't totally in favor of advertising, but there's a general slightly warm feeling about them.

It is rare to read an article that talks openly about someting other than very obvious falsehoods in ads, and this article does the rare thing. It talks about deceptions at the ver core of "lifestyle" ads.
