Business ethics certainly DO exist and, in many places, are still maintained and adhered to.

No, this doesn't apply to anything involving me directly. But my questions were prompted by a website that frequently posts scathing attacks on the commercial media for its lack of ethics.

However, the same website, with superb irony, also posts advertisements for products that are clearly worthless.

As always, I guess, it's a case of buyer (and reader) beware.

Can you give us a hint?

Is it possible that anyone browsing here has visited the website you speak of?

heh heh

I think that the company advertising should take the advertisement to keep a good business name. I wouldn't want to buy a magazine that sold fake products. The people creating the claim should be held responsible not the magazine that hosts their adds.

If our little roofing company didn't have a good ethical background and maintain it in our work--the results would show up pretty fast. In fact we (my boys) go above and beyond in their work and take care of situations un-asked for all the time without charging. I'm sure many/most other small companies do the same. You don't last long ripping people off. Unless you sell oil,cars,pharmaceuticals or political bullshit. In other words--the big boys.
But yes--all companies should be held responsible and advertisers should research what they advertise and not back the bad products.
