It's like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.

Oh my god that's Melbourne! I know that bus stop!!
I remember someone got into such a billboard and replaced the ad with IKEA-style instructions on how to replace the ads in those billboards.
Really ? got a link ? I wonder if the instructions work in any country (I assume the billboards are built differently)
Ooh I've also seen that, it was surprisingly interesting to watch

Haha now if only they could do it in Times Square. That place is a giant eyesore.
I used to feel bad about using an ad blocker on the internet, but not anymore. I utilize PiHole and uBO for ad blocking now because the internet has literally become unusable without it. I never minded seeing ads, but they have gotten so brazen about it now with the most obnoxious ads possible. When the ads start negatively affecting the usability of the Internet there's a serious problem. So they can either use respectful ad placement and get some revenue from me, or they can have them blocked and get zero revenue. It's their choice.
Does anyone know the original ad?
why do you want to expose yourself to an ad, fuck that
No matter how clever you think you are, there is always someone more clever.
I used to think AR was a niche thing for business and kinda dumb for every day use but then I thought: You'd be able to block ads. Graffiti. Garbage. Just filter the world into a cartoon if you want. Now I fucking wish I had some AR device so I can literally live inside a fantasy world, if only visually. So instead of seeing a filthy bum puking his guts out onto the garbage cluttered sidewalk as he leans against a filthy encrusted brick wall, tagged with vile shit I'll instead see a unicorn projecting a rainbow against the backdrop of a magical grove.
