Then let's blame the Dadaists and Surrealists. They're the two art movements which advertisers have mined to the greatest extent for inspiration. They brought the art of the insane out of the shadows, and 'primitive' art also (an art also of spirits and devils and aliens etc).
Advertisers seem to have a love/hate relationship with that sort of stuff. They love it, because it's always full of new ideas, but they don't want to freak people out "too much". By the time they get done with it, it's often more like Kitsch than Surrealism.
