  1. The intrusive illuminated ads feel very Blade Runner-esque.
    Soon we will be required to keep windows unobstructed by curtains, shades, or blinds so that we must do our good consumer duty and experience advertising continuously. Just wait until we have the chips installed directly in our brains.

  2. Nothing like burning fossil fuels 10 hours a day for an advertising boat. Perhaps we should let the advertisers know our thoughts on their role in climate change? Anyone have a list, so we raise their consciousness on Twitter?
