Advertising in print is no different than any other medium. Its still advertising. The only difference is the reach and the ability to demographically or geographically target.

I believe what you were referring to earlier when you stated your opinion that advertising was so terrible is/was specifically pharmaceutical advertising. Since you never took the opportunity to clarify, I am still uncertain.
