While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it’s not always an option to “just don’t look at it if you don’t like it”. I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.

Let’s try that defense for public nudity. People can just choose to not look at it if they don’t like it!

That’s the point.
They were making the point that public nudity is illegal even though you can just look away if you don’t agree
But advertising in public spaces is legal on the basis that you could just look away if you didn’t want to see it
You can make a high powered slingshot for free. Silent. Use it at night.
Also there’s a thing called a slingstaff. It’s pretty amazing. You want the 6’ long 2-handed version.
