Ironically, advertising your position against advertising is also a form of advertising. I dont think it's right to view advertising as inherently unethical. Communication and signaling are parts of human nature

Rape and murder are parts of human nature, too. Still inherently unethical.

I'm objecting to the argument that things that are natural are, therefore, good (the "appeal to nature" fallacy).

"not inherently evil" != "good"

I'm objecting furthermore to the argument that things that are natural are, therefore, not inherently evil.
