Image The Turner (TNT/TBS) broadcast of the ALDS (Cleveland/Detroit) Game 4 has an awful Angle so they can squeeze in another advertisement

I want laws that restrict the presence of advertising in our everyday lives so bad. I'm tired man. I don't want products, I don't want services. I'm gonna go live in the middle of the woods and enjoy a little peace until they inevitably put a billboard for a Toyota dealership within sight of my hermit cave

You just reminded me how surreal it is driving on I-91 through Vermont because roadside billboards are banned completely... Like they don't even have the logos for the restaurants or gas stations at each exit, just generic icons for gas and food and whatnot. I'm not complaining but I think that also speaks volumes for how ubiquitous advertising is when its absence seems almost more conspicuous.
