  Man seeing those peoples faces plastered in ads is positively dystopic.

    My initial reaction was the same but we already have people walking around wearing or carrying items with corporate branding (sports apparel, well known clothing brands, iPhones etc)

      True, I'm not opposed to branding or designer wear, it's just something about seeing a face just covered in them and then sharing it...

        > It’s like wearing a sweatshirt with nothing but the word “Nike” on it Which people currently PAY for the privilege of doing. I agree that the face feels a little more identity-usurping though.

    The ad makers are people too, for now. One would assume they would get wise of the stigma of having ads plastered on your face and would try to create commercials in different styles and formats that are more subtle/interesting than the banner ads we're all accustomed to.

  That's horrific, you'd hope the novelty wears off quickly.
