Those gas pump screens are terrible, turns out a great deal of them have an unlabeled mute button, which has made me much happier when having to deal with them: https://www.reddit.com/r/lifehacks/comments/5szod1/hit_this_...
I'm conflicted about this whole thing because, on the one hand, it is within the right of the private organization to do this. They see empty space and decide that they can cut a deal with the local News station and make some extra revenue. I completely understand that and I can sympathize with it. On the other hand, at what point do things become "Too Much?" I'm foreseeing a Bladerunner world where advertisements dominate the landscape and all areas of our life.
The death knell will be when I go to a State Park or a National Park and see an advertisement for refinancing my home next to a century-old tree. I haven't been to a park in a few years so perhaps this has already happened...
Right, but it’s also your right not to do business with them. It’s ok to vote with your feet (or wallet).
