Advertising can alter the balance of where the money is going without
more money being spent.  If I out-advertise you 10:1, I may very well
get a higher percentage of the money that is already being spent.  In
advertising, the money goes to he who grabs the brains of more
consumers.  I yearn for the days when the brains being grabbed are
actually functioning, making it harder to grab 'em for the stuff being
peddled.
