Zeon Santos's Comments

I disagree John because I don't feel like we should be subjected to advertisements everywhere we go just because someone paid to put them there. Billboards are put up in urban and rural areas, and yet nobody who lives in those areas really has a choice whether they're exposed to them on a daily basis or not.

It's noble to want to replace unavoidable eyesores erected by greedy corporations with works of art, which many people aren't exposed to today. Wouldn't we all be better off if we could see some classical art hanging around town instead of ads for teeth whitening systems and wireless service providers?

And advertisers aren't likely to put their crappy ads up in art galleries because they wouldn't be seen by enough people. They need to get their message out to the masses in order to make more money, while artists create art for visual enjoyment and rarely (at least in the case of classical art) look to turn a massive profit on their works.
