So, I was walking along ye olde town (a name of whom I shall not name) when I stumbled upon this poster:
This annoyed me possibly more than the average passer by who would just shrug it off, drop their rubbish on the side walk and carry on with their lives. It got me thinking, how do they deem such a menial act as a sin? I've had enough Religious Studies lessons to know that dropping litter, at least in Christianity is not a sin, in comparison to something like adultery. It's the so called 'exaggeration for effect' thats meant to make an impact on the public and i just think its stupid.
It's not just random litter posters, it's the whole idea of the medium of advertisement. Pictures of thin models, half naked, advertising some new brand of perfume which surprise! Makes you smell like everybody else and only for the cheap cheap price of £70 for 50ml. Companies are going to extremes to get to the top of the consumerism food chain and all I see are increasing amounts of adverts between the re-runs of my favourite Doctor Who episodes!
No Mr Go Compare man, I will not buy your car insurance because of your ludicrous 'sketches' and no Injury Lawyers For You, coming on camera at stupid angles does not make me trust you, he who is claiming to be a 'real lawyer' let alone let you take my court case. Advertisements are useless to me, unless I suddenly hit a gold mine and send it to some random guy in an envelope. Horray for safety!
