We're just going deeper and deeper into attention-grabbing displays; we now even have ANIMATED screens next to the ROADS in the Netherlands. Flashing, showing texts like "WATCH OUT! We have a new product!".
I have epilepsy. It's managed, I mean, I'm allowed to drive again. But what about people who don't have it managed (for some no meds will work)? They're just f'd when they walk down the street and Nike NEEDED to switch the screen every 0.2s?
If I can in _any_ way inhibit their ability to grow, I will.
If I need your product, I'll find it. I'm against any and all ads - I know it's unrealistic, but I'll do everything in my power to lower the amount of ads I see or to be a nuisance to them.
Really don't care about morality in this case.
I'm right now in Malaysia and my residential building lifts there are TV playing ads and make many tricks to grab attention:
- sound of phone ringing to keep you out of your zone
- loud annoying music with annoying lyrics
- putting cat in advertisement and meowing

Heh, only 30 years behind the US.
Of course our rate of people dying at younger ages over here seems to be a lot higher too.
