What is the Angelic Advertising trend?

Angelic Advertising: While some advertisers are trying to get consumer attention through blood, gore and horrific images, others are going in exactly the opposite direction. Images themed around angels, serenity and heavenly figures work to convey a feeling of overall trust and innocence (even if they are marketing lingerie), which ultimately generates positive feelings from the viewer and consumer.
