RateItAll: The Opinion Network

I like this suggestion. It's not like there isn't an ever proliferating menu of information dissemination options available to advertisers. Eliminate these and I'll stop complaining about pop up ads and endless trailers before movies.

Some billboards are loud and obnoxious.

It depends on what's on them. As long as they're not promoting something completely raunchy, I'm otherwise indifferent.

Billboards don't bother me...especially the extensive amount of Pedro billboards on the way to South of the Border.

A few years ago I spent nearly 3 weeks in Britain and Ireland. I never ceased to be amazed at the beauty of the countryside and towns. When I returned home, one of the first things that hit me in the face is how addicted to advertising we are...not that other countries don't have ugly points - of course they do. But...eeeshhhh! Billboards are just so obviously cheesy and in-your-face obnoxious. It's such an obvious symbol of how little we care about the visual beauty of the landscape and our surroundings - uhh, never mind the health of the environment. Until we get over using every bit of visable space to hawk cigs and cheap cars well, I don't see much hope for aesthetics or the well being of the environment.
