Bikes: who cares?

I'm not gone, I'm just disgusted at how easily most members of our society (and this web page) passively accept the constant barrage of tens / hundreds / thousands of advertisements that they are subjected to on a daily basis. I don't care how 'benign' or 'well designed' the ads themselves are. I don't think the founding fathers had 'the freedom to constantly barrage the populace with stupid inane ads they really aren't interested in' in mind when the authored the constitution and later the bill of rights, nor do I think the founding fathers would have been very amused by the granting of the rights of citizens to corporations, nor by the granting of first amendment protections to corporations for the right to falsely advertise most any stupid product they so desire, first and foremost (but certainly not alone) the almighty motor vehicle...
