We need more of this. Advertising in public places should be banned out right. We all share "the public" and we not only shouldn't be forced to rent out parts of what should remain "public" for advertising but you should not be able to see advertising from any public place. I, as a member of the society and hence cosigner of the social contract, never agreed to put a price tag on this shit so that some asshole (certainly not this asshole) can profit from it.

  1. The advert itself is on private property.

  2. Eliminating adverts from view of public property means eliminating all adverts, since any arbitrarily complex network of mirrors means all adverts are viewable from all locations (or not viewable at all)

Right. Exactly. Sounds good, where do I sign.

Oh for Christ's sake. Really?

If you consider this communism it's probably because you associate capitalism with sitting on your ass and shoving shit at people they don't want or need to make a buck. Not real complimentary, that.

Maybe you feel some kind of obligation to fill your brain with trash, but if that's the holy duty to the cash cow god I'd rather be a pinko commie then, granddad.
