There are lots of companies who's popularity is only as a result of their i=
ncessant advertising. Bose, Thompson water seal, GICO insurance, Monster ca=
ble,  are a few that come to mind. Rather than put the money into research =
and development and product quality, they put it into marketing and adverti=
sing. The population has and is growing a such a rate that there truly is a=
 sucker born every minute and these companies depend on that. You hardly ev=
er see the top of the line products advertised. They don't require much mor=
e than the fact that the product perform as the company states it will. App=
arently there are still enough of those kinds of customers left to support =
them.
