walls and rooftops of houses, roadsides, airports, seaports, on vehicles,
postage stamps, nozzles of petrol pumps, on bathroom tissues and s o on.
Advertising has become such a big institution
that commercial activities in the society cannot exist without it. Indeed,
advertising uses various media in the society to deliver its message and
achieve its objective of selling a product or service. Therefore, to begin this
