I'm also not allowed to forget about Coca-Cola. Or Taylor Swift. Or Meta. Or the sun.
And you should be allowed to forget about the first three because advertising is another awful mind virus.
I really wouldn't be surprised if we eventually got a study saying 'Advertising is as bad for your mental health as cigarettes are for your physical health.'
Are you not mad at the sun's PR team?
No, we have to worship the sun. If we don't worship the sun, it won't rise out of the underworld every morning.
What if I don't want it to rise? It hurts my eyes.
What are you, some kind of Mictlantecuhtli-lover?
I don't even know why we bother sacrificing prisoners on the top of the pyramid by cutting out their hears with an obsidian blade when there are people like you around.
You've made a fatal mistake, only a mole man wouldn't want the sun to rise. Back to Subterranea with you, take him away boys.
good luck building more subway tunnels without us, landwalker.
I can't wait for lightweight AR glasses and ADBlock for real life.

yes, but instead of just peril, it blocked bullshit.
BANKSY:
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
Classical literature that should be taught in schools.
Agreed. I wish!
You've waited your whole life for this moment.
I’m not a Bills fan but boy was I cheering them on yesterday just so we wouldn’t have to see her in the stands every 2 minutes.
"Look at this famous person. Ain't she famous?"
"Right you are, Ken, now back to watching the dystopia unfolding before our eyes..."
Haters gonna hate 😘
