If advertisements were all about informing people you wouldn't be using things like sexy female actresses and "Everyone is doin' it, why arn't you?" bandwagon tactics to affect a persons subconscious desires. You are still stuck to the Enlightenment nonsense that humans are totally rational creatures. Humans have subconscious desires that prevent any choice from being entirely "free".
