#5, spoken by someone who has never lived in an information-overload area like new york or chicago, where it feels like every single solitary square inch of open space is blaring with some candy-colored, neon "BUY ME" ad. it almost gets to the point of invasive, because you simply CAN'T look elsewhere and be spared the onslaught. they started doing this sort of thing in toronto five years ago on cabs (which are now just glorified moving billboards what with car-wrap ads, roof ads, and now hubcap ads, that you get to pay an exorbitant fee to ride around in when other options won't work. trust me, the only thing that these types of ads screams is "we're DESPERATE for your attention!"
