David Bollier gets to the heart of the problem: "I can hardly wait until Microsoft starts advertising in computer science textbooks; Ford pitches its SUVs in forestry school books; and professors start wearing corporate logos on their herringbone jackets like tennis stars and Nascar drivers." And his observation nails it as well: "advertisers have a laser-like ability to home in on anything that has credibility, and then become a parasite that slowly eats away its host’s insides."
