Comment: 
I have long been infatuated with the concept of advertising for entire industries rather than for an individual firm. Like, "Beef: It's what's for dinner."

I assume that as an individual, I am allowed to say whatever I want about uncopyrighted things like beef. So if I was really rich, I'd like to just buy ad time and advertise. Could anyone stop me from running a campaign like "Asparagus: Your mom probably didn't like you very much," or "Soup: Most countries are actually a lot better than America, or "Aspirin: Four out of five racists prefer it"?

Or you could just really roll the dice for a company. I wonder what would happen to sales at GM if they were to run an ad campaign like "Chevy: You know what? Women really shouldn't work." I know some people who would probably buy a Chevy.
