I invented 'antiad'.

I see an annoying ad in public space? I might get in contact with them to complain about that ad.

I think it is just fair to tell someone my honest opinion as soon as they take the time and effort to target me.

I'm totally lost on why we support generic unrelevant ads in public spaces. It makes our cities ugly.

You should become Wanksy, but for advertisements. "Rate My Add, with totally coincidental Poo on it". Maybe there's a market for YTMND with split screen ads, poo or whatever and music for us to mock all these brands with.
Sao Paulo banned billboards and advertisements. I see no reason why other cities and states cannot do the same.

Some of the states that care a lot about their communities have done so, like Maine and Vermont.

Absolutely. I cannot even walk through my city without an assault being waged on my senses.
