More advertisement hatred
I had a bunch of appointments all around town today, so I decided to reserve a Communauto car to avoid spending 4 hours in the m�tro. Instead, I spent a few looooong minutes stuck in traffic downtown. As I was admiring the autumn colors on Mont-Royal in the background, I noticed one of those damn rotating mobile advertisements, stuck in the middle of Peel street with the rest of us. I deeply hate these stupid car ads, and I know my hatred is shared by a lot of people. Do we really need more useless cars on the road? They add to air and light pollution, they’re noisy and they block the way. They make me feel like boycotting the businesses that choose to advertise on them. What a stupid, inefficient way to get a product known. If you absolutely want to do mobile ads, then get those guys on roller-blades to do it. It’s silly, but at least the guys (or girls) get exercise, money, and they don’t take up too much space, except when they decide to skate on the sidewalk…
