The Mail Online thinks so, but we think they might be overreacting.
It's not that we don't understand the power of television commercials. In our younger years, we really did think that Love's Baby Soft smelled delicious and that Hungry Hungry Hippo was "hours of fun," all because advertising told us so.
And yet, we can't quite get on board with the Mail Online's latest anti-advertising diatribe.
