Whenever I read this phrase, it always has a sense something like legal, therefore ethical or legal, therefore OK, and.. (this is not an easy sentence to finish) I wonder where people learn to think like that. OK, apart from the pressure of the entire commercial/corporate/advertising apparatus.. Maybe it's surprising it isn't more common. I guess it's the norm, in some circles. I'm naive I guess, but I'd rather die than think like that. A friend of mine used the phrase once, and..that felt like the end of the friendship.
