I do. I know and understand the soullessness of the purpose of it all ("Convince people to buy things they don't necessarily need because we want their money!") but I still love it.
I love reading about advertising, I love learning all the different tricks and methods used to try to sell products, all of it just fascinates me.
I'm also rather fond of Cracked.com, and I especially like their articles about advertising:
