I agree - calling these people who are all individuals with their good points and bad points blanket as evil when they most likely are working hard to support their family and would lose their jobs if their adverts were not impactful is unhelpful.

'Marketing liars are evil people' - ergo 'Marketing truth-tellers are not evil. It's clear to me where DG's ire is aimed.......

It could have been worse - they could have said it was InMidTown.

Although all lies are evil, some are much more evil than others. I much prefer lies aimed at getting people to visit Greenwich (a Good Thing) over lies [or even out-of-context truths] aimed at getting people to hate foreigners (a Bad Thing).

And another thing...
If a place was the best-kept secret (note to marketers, that phrase needs a hyphen), printing advertisements for that place would surely mean it is no longer the best-kept secret because you've just blabbed it to everyone.

DG's blog is London's best kept secret.

This is very much stupidity instead of evilness.

It's not stupidity, it's much more deliberate than that.
Is there an adjective we'd all be happier with?
wicked, bad, immoral, dishonourable, iniquitous, heinous, contemptible, deceitful, fraudulent

I wonder what London's best kept secret is?
But, can we ever really know, as knowing about it surely takes away its status.

I thought for a second there you'd started having adverts on your blog. Thankfully, no.

Disingenuous?

I have found the similar advert about being an explorer on the Cutty Sark quite irritating. The poster shows the the deck of the ship pitching at a very racy angle, so should go to the Trades Description Act. There is nothing wrong with using the imagination, and the Cutty Sark makes for a fascinating visit, but this advertising is over-wrought nonsense, and I could imagine some people being genuinely disappointed.
As for drumming up business for more visitors in Greenwich, you can't move for tourists/'explorers' as things are. They would better spend the money making their DLR station big enough to fit the trains. What a nonsense indeed!
On a more serious note, their ad' spend would be better used for promoting their interest in Woolwich, which has much going for it but is genuinely underrated. The train fits into the station too, which helps.

@Messiah
So all jobs are good just because they are jobs? And just because someone works hard, they deserve to keep their job, even if they are bad at it?

That headline needs a full point after the word 'tourist'.

Somebody wrote about "20 London Museums You've Never Heard Of", yet I'd heard of some of them. EVIL!
