No, it's not unethical. Advertising brings all sorts of free services to us. Network television. Greatly reduced newspaper prices. Lower cost movie tickets. Lots of websites. Sporting events. Incredible entertainment during the superbowl. Without advertising, we would all be deprived of many things. Thank god for advertising.
And, to think, you don't even have to pay attention to it to enjoy all the benefits...

Advertising is the engine of commerce (don't forget.. word of mouth is advertising as well as anything else). Commerce is a necessity.
Not all advertising is unethical. If you analyze it, almost everything in life has it's drawbacks. If we were to banish everything that is harmful we wouldn't eat or even breathe.
