what ghoul failed at their job so badly that I can still sit idly at a traffic light for 40 seconds without watching an ad about forgettable-mayo-movie-3984438974239029 or detergent?

we don't have billboards in the suburbs, also they're not attached to the traffic lights. it's an outrage because why am I sitting for half or sometimes a whole minute with nothing commercial assaulting my eyeballs

If they were attached to the lights, nazis would run stuff on them. Governments can't censor. Private companies can.
