What do you think about advertisements played by broadcast radio stations? How about billboards?


I turn off broadcasts so I don’t have to listen. And if I record them I fast forward them.

I hate billboards. I feel like they’re too intrusive and wouldn’t mind seeing a ban.

Especially the ones that are back lit. Can’t believe advertisers are given the right to attempt to distract drivers the most.


Agreed. Vermont, Maine, Alaska and Hawaii all ban billboards, and they're all nicer to drive in as a result.

Broadcast static-media advertisements generally aren't engaged in a cat-and-mouse game where they increase surveillance to combat fraud.


Imagine if your radio wouldn't let you turn the volume back up for the next song set if you happened to turn the volume down during an ad break.
