The advertising is a brutal reminder, no doubt.. but isn't this also a fine example of 'Capitalism Selling you the Rope to hang it with?' The Messages here are rarely in conformity with the assumptions behind these Ads.. why not take their money to leverage new ideas?

We've all grown up with an increasing awareness of the glowing promises in marketing, and should be able to keep our heads clear as to what they are and are not. Maybe it's even Churchill's 'Protecting the Truth with a Bodyguard of Lies..'

I believe that the ads are auto generated by google adds. TOD doesn't have control over what is displayed unless it drops google adds, but then TOD would need another source of revenue to continue operating.
