By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself.

Don't advertise. If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself [...] Go fuck yourself, is that clear? Hey Bob, if you're in the audience. That's how I feel, don't advertise.

The real danger from advertising is that it helps to shatter and ultimately destroy our most precious non-material possessions: the confidence in the existence of meaningful purposes of human activity and respect for the integrity of man.

The point of advertising is to destroy markets.

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. Go fuck yourself and die.

What this advertising boycott is going to do is, it is going to kill the company [...] And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company

"The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little." [taken from Adbusters magazine]

Mind-changing is the road to advertising disaster.

The environment that nutures creative programmers kills management and marketing types - and vice versa.

Destroy yourselves, you who are desperate, and you who are tortured in body and soul, abandon all hope. There is no more solace for you in this world. The world lives off your rotting flesh.

Bad sales sound like selling.
Bad marketing looks like marketing.
Bad copy reads like copy.

You don’t hate marketers, salesmen, or copywriters. You just hate the bad ones. The good ones you buy from every day and don’t even think about

If you don't say what you think then you kill your unborn self.

Our whole world is advertising, so we think everyone’s whole world is advertising. That’s why so many of us are so bad at it. We don’t think it’s our job to talk to people outside advertising. We think it’s their job to pay attention to us.

Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams — Joseph interpreting for Pharaoh. Like the movies, they infect the routine futility of our days with purposeful adventure. Their weapons are our weaknesses: fear, ambition, illness, pride, selfishness, desire, ignorance. And these weapons must be kept as bright as a sword.
