I don't watch TV ads, but a giant Chromebook ad is now cycling on the billboard next to my office.

I really wish more jurisdictions would ban billboard ads.

Why though? Becauss Google uses them?

No, I've been against billboards long before Google started using them. IMO they're visual blight that don't serve any positive function.

What about ads in general?

What about them? Other than ads in public spaces, which I think shouldn't be permitted, they're avoidable.
