Advertising

Advertising is ubiquitous in our consumer society. It is almost impossible to go anywhere without our attention being drawn to advertising billboards. Our letter boxes are flooded with all kinds of sales brochures on a daily basis.

But how can we know which adverts to believe and which not to believe? Sometimes they are misleading, and sometimes even aggressive. What can we do about them and how can we report them?
