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.
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.
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.

I agree fuck ads and all but 90% of the drivers are too distracted by their phones to even see the ad. 😜
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).

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

That’s the point.
They were making the point that public nudity is illegal even though you can just look away if you don’t agree
But advertising in public spaces is legal on the basis that you could just look away if you didn’t want to see it

That shit is distracting as fuck

Watch your background.
Throw a rock at it.
Go to jail and get sued sure
That’s why you wear a mask

Straight up reads like a Tyler Durden quote.
You can make a high powered slingshot for free. Silent. Use it at night.
Also there’s a thing called a slingstaff. It’s pretty amazing. You want the 6’ long 2-handed version.
