Actually, advertising too can be evil. Depends on how it's done and /what/ it advertises.
How about AstroTurf sites of Texaco promoting CO2 emissions? Both the "how" and the
"what" are negative.
Marketing is a meta-industry, much like banking and law firms. They deserve to vanish
or diminish very significantly. They are industries that address problems that
they themselves create (See USPTO for example and consider the fact that one marketing
camp merely counters another... like a war between two armies, which makes only casualties).
Then you have the externalities to take account of.
