"Ad" Me To Your Manifest

Welcome and thanks for "blogging" in.

Unless you live in a remote part of the world untouched by "civilized" communities your victim to an endless bombardment of banner advertisements.

Civilized communities are driven for the sole purpose of big business and personal gain.

I find it preposterous for Spirit Airlines to take it a step further in selling ad-space on their aircraft's to utilize overhead bins and bulkheads to plaster advertisements in your face.

An article in the Sun-Sentinel dated Sept. 12, 2008 states, "onboard advertising appears to be the low-cost carrier's latest revenue-generating tactic" to ease losses.

Airlines today operate in a time with higher cost due to fuel and fewer travelers who just can't afford the cost of a ticket.

Does this mean that other airlines will follow suit to raise revenue? I personally hope that it isn't a precedent in the making.

I find advertisements distracting, especial billboards on roadside that you can't even read. You'll drive off the road even before you can understand what it is that the ad is saying. At 70-mph it isn't Ad-vantageous to take your eyes off the road.
