"Advertising copy. Where sentences are replaced by participle phrases. Noun phrases. And dangling conjunctions. Bleh."

"Advertising is a valuable economic factor because it is the cheapest way of selling goods, especially if the goods are worthless." - Sinclair Lewis

"Advertising reaches out to touch the fantasy part of people's lives. and you know, most people's fantasies are pretty sad." - Frederik Pohl

and my favorite:

"Advertising may be described as the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it." - Stephen Butler Leacock
