Ban the Billboards

Last night while waiting for the bus, there was a huge billboard across the street from me, and it got me thinking about advertising. I really don't like blunt advertising like that. I much prefer the subtle form. For example, a character drinking pepsi in a film, or how the word "kleenex" took over "disposible nose tissue" in our vocabulary. Blunt advertising like tv commercials and billboards just seem like an eyesore.

What do you think?
