advertising,
n a paid form of nonpersonal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor.

advertising
the making of public statements about services offered and facilities available in a professional practice. Personal advertisement in this way is frowned upon because of the risk that there will be misrepresentation and that it will unfairly attract business to the detriment of the client. The contrary view is that the public is disadvantaged because they will not be aware of the range of services offered and the fees attached to them. In most countries now, in which it used to be controlled by the registering authority, the scope of personal advertising is left to the discretion of the individual. Corporate advertising which advertises the profession as a whole is encouraged.

They're the sort of dupes that contemporary advertising lives for - they'll be like Mike, save a buck or two on long-distance phone calls, smile as they ingest fast food and not have a clue why they're doing any of it.
