The print ads were similarly incredible:

I liked the first advert. The world hunger one though really rubbed me the wrong way.

Well, I think it was taking a swipe at a particular brand of insincere feel-good corporate bullshit marketing that was fairly prevalent at the time. Faceless conglomerates trying to manage their image such that they appeared to be benevolent world citizens—not ruthless plunderers.

That is opposed to say, today's brand of insincere feel-good corporate bullshit marketing.

They were making fun of greenwashing. Fun still does have its place in personal development, say most guides to the current climate catastrophe for human beings.

But right now, I too wish we would have a more liveable planet instead of perfect entertainment in polluting, air-conditioned cities. But I studied the wrong topic for me to actually thrive in the former, and not the latter environment.
