unethical advertising

[fashionlives]

i was just wondering.....would you work for a company that is selling/promoting things/concepts that you think is unethical?

and just say the company diversifies and sells many things. and the thing that you are asked to advertise is ethical, but the company sells other unethical things. would you still be involved with the company?

yes-the answer is yes-
when i was in college or even right after i might have said no...
but reality sets in and a job is a job...

money is money...
so- yes- i would work for hearst corporation even though they publish cosmopolitan magazine..
anyway- sometimes it's better to get into the system and fight it...
you have more power that way...

^I used to think i'd become a politician and expose all the corruption once I got to top levels. I soon learned I would be whacked far before I got to that top level

like what kind of situation is it softgrey, you don't hvae to answer this if it's too personal ^^

re- hearst corporation...

this is a hypothetical question right?...
