While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it's not always an option to "just don't look at it if you don't like it". I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.

Let's try that defense for public nudity. People can just choose to not look at it if they don't like it!

They've been putting those blinding boards all over the place where I live, I think they're supposed to dim at night but they're not properly maintained and fuck whoever thought putting super bright moving images right next to roads is safe and should be allowed.

That shit is distracting as fuck

A 12 or 20 gauge shotgun with a 28" barrel, and maybe a full choke, holds a nice pattern when shot from distances, say like from a slowly moving car to something as tall as a billboard.

That's why you wear a mask

I agree fuck ads and all but 90% of the drivers are too distracted by their phones to even see the ad. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Though I guess this might grab the remaining 10% that were trying to actually pay attention to the road (a hypothetical percentage I cannot claim to personally have encountered).

Straight up reads like a Tyler Durden quote.
