Comparing hearing an ad while you pump gas to rape is disgusting. Grow up.
- photonthug 3y agoI don't compare these things lightly. What is disgusting is to ignore consent, to force things on others, and to violate some sacred interiority in the service of base desires. The gas-pump ads are not as bad as airplane ads, since I could reclaim my right to choose by just walking away and never driving again, but in the later case there are literal restraints involved because I cannot leave the flight. What is disgusting is that "captive audience" is a selling point for marketing "innovations".
