I know that advertisements are not limited to just commercials on TV, but I think this way because our society seems to always be glued to it. Although we try to avoid commercials by switching to another channel, we always seem to know the exact commercial if someone brings it up.

I think that advertisements can be both misleading and something to be appreciated.
