My post on Thursday about an anti-advertising campaign provoked some passionate comments. Some highlights:
“For me, this really crosses the line from creativity to vandalism. I appreciate the sentiment, but it crosses a line for me.”“Not all vandalism is bad.
“Advertising, at least 99% of it, is a blight on our landscape and an insult to our intelligence.”
“Advertising is essential. Without advertising, we are effectively unaware of what options are available to us.”
“We got rid of slavery, smallpox, and polio. Surely we can take real estate ads off of park benches.”
