This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.

    I mean, I don’t think an advert needs to be illuminated at all, frankly

        Try going even one day without seeing a fucking ad…

        First off, the only real way to accomplish that, aside from being in a coma, is to spend the day out in the woods somewhere.

        Then, when you get tangled up in a thorny vine and pull out your knife, BAM, advertising logo!

        Then when you want to start a fire, you bust out your lighter, and BAM, advertising logo!

          Don’t look at your shirt, shoes, socks, pants, hat, water bottle, or even you camera either. If you packed your lunch, you likely see a brand there too in the wrapper.

            I have a sensory thing about tags, only purchase undecorated, monochrome clothing, and have worn the paint off of my water bottle. Plus, I make my own lunch and pack it in metal Tupperware whose branding is also worn away. It’s wild to me that there’s an application for being a fucking weirdo, but I don’t have any visible ads on my person.

            Look at this fat cat that can afford clothes!

            Sad LOL though, but yep, it’s practically impossible to avoid logos and ads anymore ☹️

      This is in general for LED text signs. The “inventors” (more like engineers because they just combined multiplexing with superbright LEDs) OP mentioned probably didn’t specify a purpose, they just wanted a more reliable alternative to mechanical or manual signage but yes, most are for ads.
