reignofevil posted:I am pretty sure we should just make laws against advertising OP. I feel like it was a fine experiment but honestly the privilege has been abused and we should probably go back to a world where every surface we own ISN'T plastered with some commandment to buy poo poo and then see if we like it for half a decade or so. I'd say, okay the Constitution has laws that say people get free speech. There's nowhere that says corporations are people, so who the Hell thinks corporations get free speech? (Corporations = People is dumb unconstitutional bullshit, the Constitution doesn't say for example that the East India Company totally counts as five thirds of a person.) So now the solution is to say corporations can have ads but each ad has to have a person's signature on it and then treat that ad as a check. If I write Wal-Mart a check that says I agree to pay them four hundred bucks for clothes, food, and guns, then that check turns out bad, I can be fined thousands of dollars and thrown in jail. So if Wal-Mart has a misleading ad or SomethingAwful runs an ad that installs BonziBuddy on my avatar, Sam Walton or Lowtax or whoever goes to jail as though they had wrote a bad check.
