    The craziest ad i have ever seen was this billboard around the time they tried to outlaw cigarettes commercials or something. They had an ad on the billboard that said: "no more cigarette advertisment? What’s next? No more sausage advertisements?

    Every time i saw that i was just like: yes, obviously, is that an argument with someone?








  • I always hated ads with a passion. I don’t really know why, even back in the 90’s when these was like 2 commercials per movie or something. It never felt right. So much so that i went out of my way to cut out all the ads in the movies i vcr’d. I ditched TV pretty early, because i just wouldn’t have it.

    But here is my question. These days, every youtuber and podcaster is basically a door to door salesman who just wan to sell sometimes quite literally shit to you. How do you continue to like people like that. I have my favourite podcasts, and i never want to hear any of their ads, because as much as i like them, they just spend 10min of their podcast lying to me and trying to sell me shit that they know is garbage. I’m not a parasocial guy, i know they are not my friends, but it still feels soooo dirty.
