It's Madvertising!

Interesting riff on cultural differences and ubiquitous advertising. Which may or may not explain why billboards in Iowa bother me more than Jumbotrons in LA, and why little enclaves (like Boone County's own Zionsville) that ban modern ads and dress themselves in faux Victorian gingerbread annoy me most of all.

We've grown accustomed, even endeared, to wall-to-wall advertising. But where does it become just too much? Commentary by Momus.
