Who’s to blame?

I found this over at Jo'blog - Who's to blame? - and had a good laugh.

I've said it before, I hate web advertising. But I despise billboard advertising. And not only because a billboard advertising company is a past client and the owner was an unappreciative prat: there's something to be said for billboard advertising and it's environmental impacts. *does hippie dance*

When a man throws an empty cigarette package from an automobile, he is liable to a fine of $50. When a man throws a billboard across a view, he is richly rewarded.

- Pat Brown, quoted in David Ogilvy, Ogilvy on Advertising, 1985
