I've always been intrigued with something...
As someone who's in advertising, I feel pretty strongly for it. However if there's one thing about it I disagree with is why must we face large billboards everywhere we look? Were we asked for this? I don't believe we were. What gives these companies the right to do this?
What gets to me even more about it is they consider grafiti wrong. They call it vandalism. I'm not a grafiti artist myself, but I admire what the talented ones do, and isn't the real vandalism the images the advertising we see everyday, more than likely against our sub-consious will, technically 'vandalising' our minds? Why should we have to stare at large billboards and not have to stare at genuine art on the walls?
I find it an interesting debate. Any opinions?

ok the last part was somewhat humour, but it shouldnt be totally illegal to do that to something abandonded.
