Ah, but if you Google Paris in the first place, that is an outcome of marketing - which is for all intents and purposes brainwashing. Bernays, who invented modern advertising, said as much himself in “Propaganda”.

So: Why google Paris? Why even Paris as an example? Hell - why Paris, period?

Examine your answer carefully, and you’ll see the non-sequiturs in our reality that we usually happily ignore.

Instead of answering your question, I will answer a related question. "Did you pick Paris as an example because of FAANG advertisements?", as FAANG ads was the original topic here. And the answer to that is no.
