> I meant why there are no companies with marketing messages that would amount to "we're not going to fuck you over like the Other Company We Can't Name".

Probably because they can't name them in the ads, which would make the message rather confusing :-)

Well, if the other company is doing something bad, it wouldn't be difficult. Actually, to provide some sort of an answer to my original question, we had sort-of this style of marketing with domain registrar, i.e. "hey, we don't try to upsell you crap, don't support SOPA and definitely don't shoot elephants for fun!".
