I can imagine that New York City officials have to constantly deal with the threat of illegal and invasive outdoor advertising given the fact that NYC is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. And it turns out that the New York City Council is cracking down on illegal outdoor display advertising.
Ahhh...finally a place where logic and financial interests coincide with making the world a better , "intrusive advertising free" place.
Some of the best advertising is done in public spaces but only when it is thoughtfully and usefully done and does not grotesquely intrude on our day to day existences.
Where should the lines be drawn? At what point do city officials have to step into the mix and start to crack down on guerilla or less than guerilla tactics that could border on grafitti or worse? Do some of these tactics work and serve a good purpose or are they just simply intrusive and downright polluting?
Whaddya think?
