I see hundreds of ads every day on almost every hat, T-shirt, shoe, hand bag, bus, bus stop enclosure, train, and car I pass throughout the day.

Hell, my neighbor just had his house painted so I literally can't walk around the block without seeing an yard sign advertising a painting company.

I don't want all advertising to disappear. If you are annoyed by businesses having branding you've gone too far. I've often seen work done and contacted the contractor through their site signage

I understand that advertising and branding works. Some are more annoying than others, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter if it's a banner ad in a website, or a vinal decal on a truck. It is still an ad, and it's effectiveness at influencing our decisions is not none.

The question was "when did you last see an ad?". I think my answer is fair. All the friggin' time.
