This can be extended to other mediums - I try to only do business with companies that have minimal advertising (such as Vanguard and USAA). Think about it for a moment: where does the money for television advertisements come from? If you're a current customer of a company running TV ads, you're being bilked, and if you're a potential customer, why would you want to do business with a company that will bilk you just to get more new customers?
