Increasing the Regulation of Advertisement

A very short video making an argument for increased regulation of Ads. Advertisement serves an important economic function in increasing the flow of information to consumers. However, advertisements often make use of pitfalls in human psychology that only undermine their benificial economic function. I there fore support making such tactics illegal.

What the fuck are you doing spawk? Here's how this video sounds to me, "Advertisers can get stupid people to by things through manipulation. Therefore, I support giving Barack Obama carte' blanche control over all advertisements."

Spawk, why are you screaming for the gov't to construct a giant metal spiked dildo to be used by the majority? blacks and mexicans are going to become the majority. They are going to be in control of the giant dildoes. Your anti-libertarian zealoty is making you dumb.

@fringeelements " I support giving Barack Obama carte' blanche control over all advertisements." As I have previously stated in the comments, I support a list of particular, identifiable, advertisement strategies being made illegal. You are reacting to a caricature.

How about restriction of gambling?

@barccy Gambling restrictions create a black market and other problems. It's like drugs.

You're really not sure of the answer? A group of assholes will tell you that they are protecting you from evil advertisements, and use their power in this area of society to secure an expansion of their wealth and power. As always.

Typical dipshit of any political stripe: "OMG I'M GONNA PORTRAY THE OPPOSITION IN A WAY WHICH IS NOT EVEN ACCURATE ENOUGH TO BE MILDLY FUNNY"

Ok.. this guy clearly dosent have ANY knowledge of how advertisement works, the best it can do is to give people the insentive to try out a product but a product can NEVER rest only on advertisement without quality.

I don't know about you but beer and sex have had a pretty integral relationship in my mind. The more beer I give the woman, the less likely she is to wake up when I have sex with her later.

Non-sequitir much?

[chorizo1337]

@blackacidlizzard thats just my opinion as I used to be into the ideology/group hang around those types, and really turned me off. Just my observation, you dont have to like it. I noticed less emotional reasoning/action on the other libertarian crowds, mostly the constitutionalist paleo con crowd

@chorizo1337

When I hear "Mises crowd," I think of a group much narrower than the whole of capitalist-friendly anti-government libertarianism.

[fringeelements]

@barccy How about we kill everyone who so much as suggests restricting gambling?

[chorizo1337]

@blackacidlizzard thats pretty much the leftist emotional tripe i keep hearing from the mises/voluntaryist crowd. christ just watch one of the free state project activsm videos. just another stupid political ideology thats bitching that things arent fair
