archenemy Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Are you shitting me? That is horrible. Especially during lunch. Yech. Wonder if their doctor-shooting campaign was not as effective as they'd hoped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm curious if any old message can be pulled across the city skies (at least for Seattle) or if there is a limit. Â You see advertisements and things like "Katy Smith, will you marry me?" but this is the first instance of propaganda I can recall. Next one to be seen: "Bush: talk to Cindy." Â I certainly would hate to see the skies running rampant with propaganda messages. Advertisements are bad enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 No kidding. Marketing is intrusive enough with their friggen bathroom adds and whatnot. It is getting out of hand. Pulling a banner like that through the sky is pollution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archenemy Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Free speech is freedom to advertise. I understand. Hell, I even read our Constitution. It doesn't mention advertising, but it doesn't mention not yelling "fire" in a movie theater either. Â Fortunately, free speech also means I can bitch about this bs. Does the banner have the name of the group on it? I'd love to give them a call right now (since I am not doing anything useful at work...)

j_b Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 a russian group said last year they had the technology to advertise from space. just imagine sitting at your fav bivy spot and there it is, you just can't escape it. it is not an issue of free speech, clearly, and referring to specific words written >200 years ago to decide issue like that is an argument that only numbskulls would make. you're welcome.

Dru Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Well - free speech does not aply to grafitti either, does it? You got some Amendment Right to tag buildings or rocks?

Â I think Dru was right to bring it up in this argument. But hell, he's a Canadian, right? We let the words that were written in that document decide many issues. 200 yrs is not that long; people still use words from a book written 2000 years ago to help guide their actions. Or maybe everyone but you is a numbskull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â pretty sticky issue, no doubt. if my neighbor forced me to see something that offended me everytime i looked out the window, i'd be pretty pissed. private property and free speech or not.
