veidr 1 hour ago<p>There certainly are better examples[1], but I think you are being willfully obtuse.*<p>Please... that kind of thing just lowers the level of discourse for everybody involved.<p><i>Of course there would be something where the billboard would have been, but advertising is designed, at great expense and with a huge amount of effort, to arrest the attention of the audience.</i><p>Perhaps it is, and what I&#x27;m saying then is that <i>that doesn&#x27;t bother me</i>.  But it&#x27;s probably a reflection of some ideological &#x2F; philosophical bias on my part. I&#x27;ve never been up-in-arms about advertising the way some people are.  I don&#x27;t even surf the web with an adblocker installed.  Ads are something I see as occasionally beneficial, occasionally Really-Fucking-Annoying, and mostly just ignorable background noise.  The only time I find myself drifting into anti-ad rage is when the ads are particularly obnoxious, or repetitive, etc. For example, video&#x2F;audio ads on a page that start playing with no prompting from the user. That gets on my tits a bit, and that&#x27;s where I jump on the &quot;end the bullshit&quot; bandwagon somewhat.
