Being a marketing grad, I like watching good advertisements. Witty punchlines and creative deliveries of message never fails to inspire me to push myself to look at something from another perspective.
That's another reason why I like photography. Everything has a good angle, it's how you choose to look at it.
On the other extreme, some ads are so badly done it sticks on your mind.
