Unethical would also be saying things about a product that just aren't true and promising things that you know very well the product won't deliver.

Unethical And Illegal Groups

In Europe and the USA, we have a number of small, disreputable publishing houses and for profit websites who write and promote books and webpages glorifying the 1933-1945 Nazi tyranny.

The main attraction of "their worship" is Adolf Hitler, they write about him and Himmler, Heydrich, Goebells and Goering as if they were supermen saving Europe from Communism and [the alleged]"World Jewry". [There is no World Jewry-its a myth]

They fail to mention the murders these men committed, the invasions they planned and authorised, they ignore the military war deaths on both sides, even worse they claim the death camps did not exist. Their motive is book sales, sales of photographs, sales of emblems, and receiving fees for giving speeches to White Nationalists, to Racist groups, in doing so they promote hate on a national scale. They hate blacks, browns, Jews, Catholics, Homosexauls, and immigrants. They probably hate door to door salesmen and real estate brokers. They ignore the achievements of other races and Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, George Foreman and Ezzard Charles [etc] are non-people to them. Joe Louis and the other fine men mentioned might disagree?

Whats evil about these people is that they know the suffering the Nazis caused, they've heard of the blatant atrocities, the villages burned and reduced to rubble and the inhabitants shot, they say this was justified, that these things happen in war, its useless telling them that German mothers weep at the loss of their sons and the destruction caused. All to no avail. They are evil.

Bandit signs, blind ads and other illegal advertisements.

I think sites that display bogus Internet awards are unethical.

I saw that listed as a strategy at one sight, and after that I recognized the graphics at other sites claiming they'd received awards.

A large number of the television commercials I see when watching football willfully incorporate Sex in an attempt to sell.
