Anti-Advertising
Break Commercials Advertising. What's not to like? Sure, they invade your favourite TV programme, make you want to cremate your car radio, occupy billboards, bus shelters, building wraps, your shopping trolley...
...even 20 foot tall inflatable bananas. But aside from that, they're harmless.
Well, not according to one website who claim that "the steady normalization of advertising dulls the public's perception of their surroundings, re-enforcing a general attitude of powerlessness toward creativity" or in short, ads make you stupid.
They're using fire to fight fire with ads intended to well... end advertising. Surreal artistic billboards and bus stops with coded anti-advertising slogans designed to "de-normalize" advertising.
If "de-normalization" sounds good you can download anti-advertising posters for your locale but the decision is really up to you. Join the movement and help to break commercials - or resign yourself to ad nauseum.
