I don't think you should feel guilty at all unless you are not doing as good a job as you can. Screw the self-rightous, judgemental, idealistic bullshit that some would spew as though they knew anything about the real world and be true to yourself.
While I`m *sure* that was not *at all* directed at me in the slightest I have two things to say.

My first statement was meant, to a degree, to be hyperbolic. I think Catwoman got that, even if you didn't.

Secondly, don't try and tell me I don't know about advertising and media, I run and own a growing publication that is making the transition from online to the real world, I've also worked with graphic design firms that do branding campaigns. I dance with that devil all too often.

In my mind there are two types of advertising, reasonable, tollerable types that I am resigned to and the real scum. Very few organisations have the guts to pick and choose their advertisers but if you deal with certain markets, you realize it's in your interest to make sure that the people you sell space to aren't utter assholes, brand association works both ways.

She not the first, nor the last (and correct me if I'm wrong in this assessment) to be...bedeviled by the amorality of her profession, there have been plenty of confessions and defections to those of us that do our best to keep some public space and by association mental space, advertising free.
