"clutter" sucks. Advertising that inserts itself into everyday life..Obnoxious. For example: When you travel across the US, some states do not allow billboards and then you come to a 'billboard state' You no longer see the countryside, you see the billboards instead...Some states even allow Neon-lit billboards....Now I ask you, does that intrude on the enjoyment of life? Maybe not for everyone...some people go... "Oooh, Great! Something to look at.." because they prefer billboards to open countryside. Some don't see the harm in adding a few lines of script to every page...."You don't HAVE to read it, you know" and "what's the harm?" and like that.. But watching a boxer with some corporate tatoo on his back or reading a message on the internet with the device makers tag line included...they do it because we just let them without thought. Maybe Apple sells an App to remove their message saying "sent from my I-Phony" ... Me, I was just thinking about that crap for some dumb reason as I sipped my Yuban from my Gevalla with H2o from my Sureflow pump out of my DOW PVC plumbing. sent from my Dell inspiron via Century Link DSL from Washington USA, Earth, Universe.
