Death by Advertising

I think that my head may be about to explode.

Why?

New York City is an incredibly noisy place - you are constantly being bombarded by the noise from sirens, passing subway trains, angry pedestrians, car horns, angry drivers, religious lunatics, regular lunatics, and violent lunatics. And this is just the audio pollution!

The visual pollution is just as bad! Advertisements everywhere from the top of taxicabs to the subway walls to being painted on the sidewalks! I’m not even talking about Times Square here!

So this is why I despair when I read in The Guardian that they have developed a paper-thin TV that they think could lead to newspapers and magazines having moving images on the cover. Sound too far fetched and Harry-Potter-like for you? Well you can read the story here.

We don’t need more moving shit! I sure as hell do not need to spend my day thinking about the shaking boobies on the cover of Playboy (I mean let’s be honest about this – this technology is perfect for porno mags!) anymore than I already do!

It makes me want to lock myself in a plain white room with no windows or decoration of any kind. The padded walls can be added later!
