Outdoor Adverts

Campaigners want outdoor adverts and billboards banned, calling them "invasive and damaging".

I hardly notice any adverts anywhere, even in the media. So is this just another snowflake attack on life as we know it?

Re: Outdoor Adverts
What an absolute load of nonsense.

Billboards and large advertising have been around forever. Never does anyone any sort of harm. I see them but I don't ever think I need to buy that or I am sad as I can't afford it.

This quote from the article is just insane.
Quote:
He said the adverts were "sending a message that our lives are incomplete, we should be striving for more and it really undermines our self-esteem and has a serious impact on our mental health".
I certainly don'y feel undermined by advertising. Surely TV adverts would be more invasive as you are forced into seeing them all the time you watch TV.

What next banning shop signs and window posters? Jeez

Exactly as Billboards and large advertising were in our fair city going as far back as the 1920's.

Bunch of straw-chewing dullards.

Makes you wonder what sort of funny handshaking is going on when it comes down to having planning applications blocked.

How utterly rediculous. It's the real world. If the snowflakes can't cope they should retreat to their safe rooms and concentrate on eating quinoa and beansprouts.

Re: Outdoor Adverts
I dunno, we know a lot of things now we didn't know years ago, smoking is apparently bad for you, as is drinking alcohol in excess, not the health tonic it once was

Didn't Eva Herzigova cause some car accidents?
