ADS SHIT IN YOUR HEAD

"Advertising [...]is a visceral, powerful form of pollution that not only affects our common public and cultural spaces, but also our deeply private intimate spaces. Advertisers want your 'brain time' -- to shit in your head without your knowledge. We want to stop them." --Bill Posters, Brandalism

Did you know that the second blank button on the right column mutes the ads playing on your gas station monitor? Try it today, and even better: let others know they don't have to be bombarded with GTV or other corporate nonsense blaring out at them every time they need to fill their car.

The gas company is not content to price gouge you after arranging your place of living to keep you dependent on their product: they wanted to make your life slightly worse and collect extra money by selling your time at the pump. Did you get a cut? No of course not!

These are 1x1.5cm stickers, kiss cut so they are very easy to peel off of the paper backing. They are "eggshell stickers" that are incredibly difficult to remove.

Peaceful protest is to let the people you’re protesting know you have the numbers that if they don’t start doing what you ask that you can unleash your inner Ron Pearlman, and when they ignore you, because they will ignore you, you must then unleash your inner Ron Pearlman

I’ve spent much of this year examining car bloat, the process through which smaller vehicles are being replaced by increasingly massive SUVs and trucks.

What I’ve learned: Huge cars are terrible for society, often in ways that are hidden.

Some basic facts:
◆ >80% of US car sales are now trucks/SUVs.

◆ EVs can make the problem worse due to huge batteries.
