Gas Pump Advertisements

Tweet

-A quick rant- I'm really annoyed by the gas pumps with the t.v. screen that play advertisements and clips of weather reports, general news and clips from t.v. shows. I just find them very distracting. The last thing I need is to hear Jimmy Fallon in the background kissing up to a celebrity on the interview couch. I'm just there to fill my car with gas and maybe, if needed, give the windshields a good cleaning. I don't need to know how hot or cold it is. I know because i'm outside putting gas into my car. Nor am I in the mood to hear what current events are going on the world. Or how many points Lebron James scored. The whole media market of advertising is everywhere! Leave me alone! Quit following me! I've read in the past of how there's some similar t.v. screens are on the top of the upright urinals in mens' restrooms and on the back of the stall doors facing you while you sit and drop a number two. The only alternative I have in controlling this onslaught of ads, is pressing the mute button and just purposely ignoring the screen. But I swear, one of these days I will snap and just beat the living pixels out of the display screen! Photo by me, Plethos
