3. That is so wrong - visual pollution of the worst kind

Think about this for a moment. If you are offended by those billboards along freeways, this is far worse. Nobody can escape the reach of this firm of advertising. It is a worldwide advert that is the exact same experience for everyone. Imagine if Pepsi paid for ad space on every opening page of every website in the world. It's easy to see how ludicrous that is - it's not targeted, or localized in any way. That would be a large waste of money and could offend a large part of the market. There is no way to guarantee that a certain geographic region can see this at a specific time, because of weather conditions.

How many indigenous groups around the world would be offended to see a logo drawn on their sacred moon?
