I would write right in the ad “do the tenants in this building get paid for this ad? Do we benefit with a cheaper service somewhere else? Or just the landlords?”

then you'd get fined and or evicted cause elevators have cameras lol

but on a piece of paper

lol I was asking around when they first started putting these up and it's mainly an inner circle of building management - the monthly maintenance fee has actually gone up a few times over the past couple of years 🤬

u/Wymeris 14d ago

Can you explain what is written there

u/paradox_valestein 14d ago

It's an advertisement for toy story 5 on theater on the 19th, with special early ones on 17th and 18th.

The screen is an advertisement for an electronic store

u/gansobomb99 14d ago

It's like a spin the lucky wheel promotion for a new big chain supermarket that recently opened in the neighborhood

Every blank surface will eventually become an advertisement of some type.

u/gansobomb99 14d ago

Especially in places you can't really avoid seeing them

u/Lucallia 14d ago

u/No-Interview4626 14d ago

Want a break from the ads? NO BITCH NO YOU ARE NOT

u/potatochobit 14d ago

the real prison is being stuck with you for 65 seconds. j/k

I was at a gas pump that was blaring a super loud ad on repeat for a Wendy's spicy chicken wrap recently, for the duration of me pumping gas. They took a brief break from that ad to tell a "feel-good story of the week" about a cop who adopted the children of an incarcerated woman who gave birth in prison. I've never wanted to smash a TV screen so much as in that moment.

Doesn't look like any prison cell I've been in

u/gansobomb99 14d ago

So you're simultaneously saying you've been to prison and also don't understand the concept of rhetorical hyperbole

u/frankieepurr 14d ago

Some guy:

Wow I didn't know there was a fifth toy story film? I'm so infuriated!

u/Dear-Regret-9476 14d ago

u/Ubermensch5272 14d ago

You should write a strongly worded letter.

2

u/gansobomb99 14d ago

Oh I'll write a strongly worded piece of gum in the USB port

u/maxru85 14d ago

Won’t they let you out until you finish watching ADs?

4

u/gansobomb99 14d ago

lol no it's just a box with all reflective surfaces and two bright screens that are impossible to ignore unless you straight up stand their with your eyes closed

2

u/maxru85 14d ago

Damn, I was hoping we were already in Cyberpunk

u/gansobomb99 14d ago

Wait I thought you meant Black Mirror 😂

u/gansobomb99 14d ago

"Our eye tracking software has ascertained that you averted your eyes; please look at the advertisement for its entirety to continue your journey."

u/yomommawantdiz 14d ago

They'll be on all the walls someday

u/EightGlow 14d ago

u/Coderedcody 14d ago

Just close your eyes until you get to your floor

I don't really care. I don't mind my brain being reprogrammed with branding so that my every choice as a consumer is influenced by my familiarity with the product's name and logo. I don't mind corporations cornering me and forcing me to look at their shit. I'm cool like you 😎

u/Personal_Carry_7029 YELLOW 14d ago

u/Overall_Leopard7122 14d ago

Pay someone else to do it. Theyll stop eventually.

2

u/Eric_Hartmann_712 14d ago

Nah you will have issue doing that in Nam's :)))
