Broken Promises!

I solemnly apologize for not upkeeping the promises that i recently made :(.
I am simply not having the time to get the photographs in the blog. I dunno how people do it, but i find it as a daunting task. I dont like the vertical stacking of the photographs and aligning them as i like takes oodles of patience and time.
Patience i do have, but not the time :(

I have been through the marketing strategies of a company recently. Hilarious though some of these stategies may seem, mud slinging is something that i am not quite for.
Company Y was setting up a conference at a city in CA. Company X had setup hoardings in the airport of the city that says "This city runs our products". If the executives of Company Y (not to mention the Customers of Y) arriving at the airports missed this, they setup advertisements (of company X) on the top of taxis that made a bee-line just at the exit of the airport. If any of the executives were blind enough to miss this too, leaving no stone unturned company X published its ads on the rear of the receipts that these taxi drivers give.

What exactly are Business Etichs? Does marketing not adhere to them? The competition may be cut throat but is mud slinging justifiable? (The above acts though not mud slinging were quite near being the same).
