I can see the headlines now. “This just in! Global advertising halted because of some shitty vandalism! World saved from crushing depressive corporatocracy!”
If you’re “tired of fighting” it still costs you little to nothing to support those fighting, or at least not speak condescendingly about the fight they are fighting. Something about your comment tells me you weren’t fighting much in the first place.
While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it’s not always an option to “just don’t look at it if you don’t like it”. I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.
They’ve been putting those blinding boards all over the place where I live, I think they’re supposed to dim at night but they’re not properly maintained and fuck whoever thought putting super bright moving images right next to roads is safe and should be allowed.

I agree fuck ads and all but 90% of the drivers are too distracted by their phones to even see the ad. 😜
Though I guess this might grab the remaining 10% that were trying to actually pay attention to the road (a hypothetical percentage I cannot claim to personally have encountered).
A 12 or 20 gauge shotgun with a 28" barrel, and maybe a full choke, holds a nice pattern when shot from distances, say like from a slowly moving car to something as tall as a billboard.
I'll pay for all of the subscriptions required to not see ads when the companies I work for pay me enough money to afford it.
Have you seen the prices on these subscription sites?
Every single website you go to wants $20 a month to not show you ads, and for some all that will do is decrease the number of ads you are shown.
If you cycle through the same 10 to 15 websites then that's $200 to $300 a month just to look at the internet that you're paying $100 a month to look at.
Did Banksy draw or write this? What’s the connection?
EDIT: Here’s an explanation from the artist who drew the comic:
This quote was taken from Banksy’s 2004 book Cut It Out. Some of the passage was inspired/appropriated from an essay by artist Sean Tejaratchi. I rearranged the last couple of sentences for this comic.
As a poet once wrote on a bathroom stall door I’ve seen: The three greatest pleasures in life are the beginning of a piss, the middle of a nut and the end of a shit.
So everyone was originally female. That’s a basic fact. The ovaries, descend down and become testicle. This is why when you get kicked in the balls, you feel it in your stomach area. It’s where the ovaries normally set. The clirotis extends out and becomes a penis. The g spot doesn’t really move, it just stays there and the only way to access it is through the rear exit.
Trust me, I’m a random internet stranger with no background (formal or informal) in Physiology or Biology or anything related to that in any way.
Male nipples improve the aerodynamics of the chest, decreasing drag. While not noticeable in everyday life, it gave many persistence hunting a significant boost in performance, extending the hunter's running range by several miles.
Yeah, this is common belief but it’s not completely true. The egg is fertilised by either an X or Y sperm, and will develop for a couple of months as a kind of intersex thing.
What would be ovaries develop into testes, but for example, no fallopian tube of uterus would have been developed.
OK, I just realised this is the perfect way to explain period pain to dudes. That ache you feel after getting kicked in the balls plus that feeling that you kind of want to shit yourself? That is what a period feels like.
As measured by whom? Your shit attitude doesn’t prove anything.
Besides, have somebody kick you in the balls repeatedly for hours on end, then maybe you have a comparison. Oh, and they have to kick you hard enough to break your hips.
And you’re last statement is an outright falsehood. You replied. Ergo, you do give a shit.
Your entire premise is misogynistic bull. But whatever; keep at it. Look like an idiot. Deny yourself actual contentment in life. Die on whatever hill you want.

Non sequitur. I care about public discourse and information availability. You could die literally right now and I wouldn’t be more fazed than if a single grain of sand fell on a beach.
Your entire premise is misogynistic bull.
You state, based on an empty premise and no arguments. Saying things doesn’t make them true, I’d expect you to learn this at an age of approximately 2. Lest, of course, you be an homophobe nazi pedophile that kills pets for sport.
