And good art makes people come inside. Not advertisement indeed.

And what about advertisement that is good art?

Some ads are artistically very good and only the context causes us to react negatively, we don't appreciate it fully because we know it is here to influence us.

It is the same idea with graffiti. Some of it is really good, but we won't appreciate it if we tie it to vandalism and criminality.
