Advertising for Giants

Around the end of last year I was sat in the lovely (even if it does have cocks painted on its ceiling) An einem Sonntag im August, drinking a lovely Cafe Mocca when I noticed this horrific thing staring at me from across the road.
"My god!", I thought, "How could they put up such a giant turd of an advertisement on the side of a whole building!".  After grumbling for a short period of time (most enjoyable), I didn't give it much further thought.  A freak occurance from the whims of a lunatic advertising agency perhaps.  Then this happened.
And then this.
And currently there's a shittering of giant multicoloured Ipads glaring down at you (I've had enough of photographing these things so you shall have to use your imagination, just try to imagine your a dead, hell residing and being tortured with pap, Don Draper).

Ok, so, I know, its not exactly the end of the world, they will of finished the construction there soon and then they can go screw themselves/stop assaulting my eyeballs.  But, alas, that was way too postive a train of thought.


Why they think this is ok is beyond me.  Why should they be allowed to do this?  When did it become ok in society for companies to do whatever they like in regards to advertising.  I mean, what is wrong with this :

It may be a little messy, but its much better than this smiling twats face.
