Okay, there are ads, ads, everywhere. There is the obvious stuff (don’t watch TV, turn the channels during ads), but there is also other things to consider- I don’t what to watch all videos and listen to CDs. I need, for insance to know the daily news. I watch BBC world news (I’m in the US), etc, so thats a start. But, I can’t walk down the street without being bomabarderd by ads. Hey, people are even selling their foreheads in the London as ad space.

I would really, really like to cut down on the absurd some odd thosands of ads I (we) are exposed to everyday. I am not anti commernce- only anti saturation. Any dopers have any creative tips?

Best of luck with that quest, mademoiselle. I really hope you find something, anything.

Ppl are renting out their _foreheads_ now? Yikes.

I’ll bet cheaters do the deal, then stay home and watch TV instead of prowling the bars, hehe!
