Imagine an adland that played by the rules of Trump.
Carlsberg would definitely be the best lager in the world. Whiskas would be loved by ten out of ten owners, even those who didn't have a cat, let alone a preference. VW - or perhaps Apple - might encourage us to Think Bigly. And there'd be no doubt in anyone's mind that Anadin works fastest. No ifs or buts or drinking Bacardi about it.
In a world of fake emergencies or convenient lies (as opposed to inconvenient truths), would advertising need to be bothered about being legal, decent, honest and truthful?
Without self-imposed restrictions, scientific proofs or objectively curated comparisons, could we just go ahead and declare superiority without resorting to advertising wizardry.

100km's into Day 4 and it's been raining torrentially for about 98 of them. The ITB in my right knee has gone from a dull ache to a sharp pain each time I extend my leg. Not great... there's still another 40km's to go, including a big climb. The caravans that threaten to knock us off while furiously overtaking are looking pretty dry and cosy right now.

Independent agency AFFINITY won the NSW Electoral Commission contract back in September 2018, and have since been working on the campaign, set to launch this month.Angela Smith, chief strategic officer and partner at AFFINITY explained the basis of the work: "Taking a look at available data, we quickly realised NSW voters had one of the best compliance records in Australia, and Australia is one of the most compliant countries in the world. Preaching about democracy or threatening the electorate with dire consequences wasn't necessary. Instead, our strategy was to enable the people of NSW and direct them to useful tools to help them remember to vote. As it turns out, whilst 90.49% of eligible voters turned out to vote at the previous election, the biggest stumbling block to not voting is simply in remembering when to vote."-thumb-400x224-314626.jpg)
