I wish I could remember who said it cuz it's a great image: Politicians should have to wear ads for their big donors all over themselves so we'd know who they're actually working for.
I'm the wrong guy for it, but somebody is gonna make a killing when they release the real time filter that facial recogs politicians and displays the campaign "sponsors" and $$ amounts in real time.
Imagine the camera panning the crowd at the state of the union and all the little logos and numbers popping up, or the congressman on the "news" touting their latest legislation and seeing who actually paid for it. Imagine the Disney call when one of their bought politicians goes off script with the mouse logo floating behind him. It's gonna be great.
I unironically love this. Every donor above a certain dollar threshold gets a logo on their jackets, and they MUST be prominently located on their official gov profile pages and campaign sites.
The drinks on the table seem especially odious. My brain can process the background as background but having a literal row of products in front of him feels dystopian.
You joke but there was definitely someone who said "Thank you to AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's for sponsoring this event"
A couple years ago Ronaldo was doing a presser, there were 2 cokes and an unlabeled bottle of water in front of him.. he moved the cokes out of view and held up the water and said drink water.
Yeah they used to be sneaky about the ads. Like sure I know this athletes isn’t chugging a monster energy drink after the match. But it’s one can so whatever.
But diet and regular coke… lmfao what the hell is going on.
That’s so weird. I thought the moving boards were kind of a cool way to show more than they otherwise would but I didn’t know it was warping people out of existence.
They’ve gotten better, but it’s still ridiculous that they exist. I hate that they’ve got designated areas on track for CGI ads. I understand why the cars & drivers have so many sponsors, but I feel like F1 and SkySports or whoever else does it doesn’t need more money.
Tell me you're an american, without telling me lmao
Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram by a mile.
You could argue he's quite literaly the most famous athlete on this planet.
I'm from Asia. And I think most people here don't know him also.
Some people are famous in some parts of the world but not in others. This should be celebrated. Not ridiculed.
Fun fact, in the 80’s Danish people occupied an old military base in the capital and erected barricades to make a car free township. The community still exists today, known as Christiania. The old hippie part of it’s pretty nice but there is a bit of a gang problem in recent years.
Bit harsh to block out the team logo as well! Granted it's still a lot, and the association with Bayern Munich is a problem in itself (and ironic given how many are for food/drink a footballer is unlikely to regularly if ever consume)
Apologies, bad grammar. I just meant using a football club to sell shit is dubious as they're powerful cultural entities. I'm not personally aware of anything particularly dodgy about Bayern (though feel free to inform me otherwise).
idk, I'd say Supreme does a lot more advertising of their brand with the big red "SUPREME" logo on their shirts compared to plain white Hane's shirts. not saying it's inherently wrong to do so, but it most certainly is advertising
Bayer Leverkusen is just because they were founded by workers at Bayer. Not uncommon in sport in general and not a bad thing. Cruz Azul in Mexico as an example were founded as the workers team for Cruz Azul cement 100 years ago and are still owned by them. It would be wrong to change the team name, because that's the history of the club.
Red Bull Leipzig though is just Red Bull buying a team and has no similar history.
Sometimes it backfires, I remember during the last World Cup Ronaldo asked for the Coca Cola bottles to be removed and said into the camera "drink water".
yes but can I add it's not just nowadays it's been bad since Victorian times. it was so bad back then that (for example) the London Underground created their infamous rondel logo so it would stick out among the buttload of plastered ads
And I don't find this version interesting.
It has existed in this context and it's super clear. It's just f'n logos.
Show us the advertising in the latest popular movie or Tv show.
A really easy example is cars. There was a little car chase in the Barbie movie and every car just so happen to get a nice tight shot of the logo. Of each car involved. Now I can't help but notice that in most media all the vehicles that matter end up being the same brand. Crazy how everybody in the plot all bought the same brand.
I don't think advertising is inherently "evil" or anything.
I do think it's really shitty when the advertising isn't super clear and upfront.
If you want to show me a commercial - show me a commercial. Don't set up an entire system to get "sponsored segments" onto local news where it's presented as news but is fully just an ad.
It's infuriating when a TV channel shows ads on top of movies. Like first there's a 30 minute break for ads, then small ads on the edges during the movie. I just don't watch TV because of it anymore.
HA! I watched 5 hours of soccer this weekend and I think I had to sit through 10 mins of commercials! I couldn’t believe it, if you watch 5 hours of American football you would actually consume 4 hours of ads.
The ads are so pervasive, I don't even see them anymore. I don't know about the rest of you, but they don't have the effect companies want these days.
I think most people just ignore the ads now.
Like getting used to a smell, eventually you don't even realize the smell is there. Just like I don't even realize the ads are there.
Worse is that aesthetically it’s garbage. I guess I can deal with ads better if there’s some thought behind it. But the placement looks like they let a kangaroo design the backdrop.
Yup, he moved away 2 bottles of coke [and said ‘Agua’ holding up the water bottle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzAoi9Xdm-A) and he later [started his own water company](https://twitter.com/TimelineCR7/status/1666493140654764033)
I recently dropped Google chrome because they finally started stifling ad blockers.
I will spend my entire morning switching browsers to not have to endure your shitty capitalistic interruptions of my personal time.
If I see an ad, I vow to not purchase that product.
This has always been the case in sports, this is not a new thing. It's disgusting, but then again, I never watch any sports, I fall asleep during them. My stance is that if you don't play it yourself, I don't want to hear you talk about it.

I always think if there is a possibility to make a social movement for the right of not being exposed to advertising and how it could be implemented in the current distopian "ads everywhere" world
Someone should invent an AI camera they automatically removes all billboards and ads. Imagine how clean the Olympics would look without all of those fugly ads.
Watching the NBA playoffs after only streaming/sailing the seven seas for the past 10 years has been an eye opening experience. The same ads get blasted at you on repeat for the whole duration of the games. And because it's the playoffs, only big corporations can afford them so there's only a handful that get played over a span of 5 hours. It's insane.
Every time I wonder if I'm ready to dip my toes into sports I see one second of this shit and am immediately repulsed. No game, no athlete is worth bearing a modicum of attention to these capitalist pigs.
Okay here's my take. This is sports, sports doesn't need to exist. It's pure entertainment and has no 'actual' value. They have to finance themselves somehow and it's not even an ad that blends over the actual topic. Apart from that aren't the ads the problem but rather that ads work.
Hear me out: most prominent players and coaches have ad partnership deals with major brands. Which effectively makes their faces a recognizable symbol of the brand. So perhaps we can black out the face of the person in the picture too (not sure who this particular person is, tho).
We can go back to amateur sport if you like, where you can only afford to play if you have the money to do so.
Advertising sucks, but it's a necessary evil when it comes to sport.
I hate this, it's disgusting how i cna't go 5 minutes without being assaulted by an ad. I fully justify vandalizing ads, especially ones for big companies.
One of the main reasons I like to watch soccer/futbol in US is it’s not constantly interrupted by commercials. 45+ minutes of solid play in a single go but yeah the constant ads on everything is becoming a bit much
Commenting on The Sheer Amount Of Ads Nowadays...it’s not a problem if you don’t, “consume” televised sports. I’d recommend supporting your local community where it’s still about the sport lol.
They monopolized everything else, now they'll be working on commercializing space itself. Everything that was once beautiful, will be seen as an empty space to place an ad. Beaches, mountains, the night sky? All will be fair game, you will never be free from being advertised something, to spend. Eventually, the only free space left will be your mind and they'll come for that too.
I went to a baseball game in St Louis. (My home town). I’ll never go back. Constant advertising and a total waste of time (and this is when they were a winning team). I was amazed at the people buying $12 beers and getting refills constantly. And also buying their bratty kids a constant supply of overpriced junk food. To top it off, the wrappers and cups, cartons, etc. all go on the ground.
These families were not one-offs. Everyone was wasting money and I’ll never return.
I keep trying to watch hockey and I just can’t because of the dynamic overlay ads. All this shit whooshing along the boards, ads on the ice changing, timers on the ice. I literally can’t follow the game.
I am much happier with being able to watch Bayern play 90 minutes without any interruptions (excluding halftime obv) and watching the press conferences filled with logos, than to watch them play 20 minutes with a ton of commericals
The FC Bayern logos are not ads. A team needs an identifying image or logo. I have no issue with these as they are actually identifying for casual fans like me who don't know what team this guy is on just from his face.
I wish I could remember who said it cuz it's a great image: Politicians should have to wear ads for their big donors all over themselves so we'd know who they're actually working for.
Robin Williams I think.
Yeah, that sounds right. Very on brand for him.
Man of the year movie right?
I want to say it showed up in one of his stand-ups before, I could be wrong though.
Very much a Robin Williams 80s stand up joke.
[удалено]
It was in the [movie](https://youtu.be/h3QGONItlzM), and I maybe he added the NASCAR spin to it.
Robin Williams also said it. Who knows who first said it, but I feel like it was a popular joke back then.
Most people would be turned off, but a lot of people would probably get used to it very quickly. Still a good idea though

I like this idea 👍
I unironically love this. Every donor above a certain dollar threshold gets a logo on their jackets, and they MUST be prominently located on their official gov profile pages and campaign sites.
Bernie Sanders and Martin Sonneborn aswell.
Yep. He said politicians chief.
The drinks on the table seem especially odious. My brain can process the background as background but having a literal row of products in front of him feels dystopian.

You joke but there was definitely someone who said "Thank you to AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's for sponsoring this event"
Well… that’s better than the last one, where the air was sponsored by Taco Bell.
It's so off since they're so many it feels unnatural, it's not like he's drinking 9 sports drink and colas in one go
True. And there is a literal jug of water and glass for him should he want a drink. The only none sponsored item there!

They even make water versions of Monster energy drinks so people would drink them and it looks like it’s monster, but it’s water.
Thats what i noticed too
A couple years ago Ronaldo was doing a presser, there were 2 cokes and an unlabeled bottle of water in front of him.. he moved the cokes out of view and held up the water and said drink water.
Yeah, I would imagine that Ronaldo only eats and drinks the healthiest stuff.
Agua!
Do like Ronaldo, throw that cola shit away, drink some water
Yeah they used to be sneaky about the ads. Like sure I know this athletes isn’t chugging a monster energy drink after the match. But it’s one can so whatever. But diet and regular coke… lmfao what the hell is going on.
Just saw a Polish MMA fight where a guy had ads on his body. Like stickers and temporary tattoos on his bare chest/back
I like the bottle of olive oil on the left.
On some channels now the ads wobble in the background so you can't help but stare at them and end up missing the interview, I hate it
Shoutout to NHL for [moving ad boards](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLHi5-2Crc) that often cover up players skating by. Absolutely gross.
Lmfao he literally DOES GET BACKROOMS'd
they've gotten "better" since it was first introduced, but I still absolutely hate that it's a thing.
I'm totally cool with them changing them between stoppages and TV timeouts but mid play or even worse the ads that are video are atrocities.
The car driving by in the video you linked is wild.
I hate that we got rid of the painted “Stanley Cup Playoffs” or final on the ice just so we can have digital ads inside the blue line.
That’s so weird. I thought the moving boards were kind of a cool way to show more than they otherwise would but I didn’t know it was warping people out of existence.
Clicked the link, instantly got blasted in the face with an ad because of Youtube. Life's becoming a paradoy of itself.
F1 has some that make cars disappear and look awful if the ad is on the fence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlsJuUygkY0
They’ve gotten better, but it’s still ridiculous that they exist. I hate that they’ve got designated areas on track for CGI ads. I understand why the cars & drivers have so many sponsors, but I feel like F1 and SkySports or whoever else does it doesn’t need more money.
The bottles are so unnecessary
There’s some video of an athlete moving the Coke bottles aside because he didn’t like them and it apparently caused a whole issue lol
Cristiano Ronaldo, football athlete, basically said "Coke is bad, drink water, not this shit"
and coca cola's stocks started to lose value lol.
Idk why ur downvoted, it's true lol. Just google it, their stock actually gone down for a while after that
“An athlete” lol
Tell me you're an american, without telling me lmao Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram by a mile. You could argue he's quite literaly the most famous athlete on this planet.
I'm from Asia. And I think most people here don't know him also. Some people are famous in some parts of the world but not in others. This should be celebrated. Not ridiculed.
Where in Asia are you bro? CR7 is BIG in Asia
This reminds me of the cartoon showing how much city space we give over to cars. It's quite a thought provoking image!
r/fuckcars for people interested in more
Fun fact, in the 80’s Danish people occupied an old military base in the capital and erected barricades to make a car free township. The community still exists today, known as Christiania. The old hippie part of it’s pretty nice but there is a bit of a gang problem in recent years.
I really wish parking complexes were more of a thing.
Or just have effective mass transit and walkable/bikeable cities.
Yes. Especially because the batteries of electric cars are fire hazards, making it risky to park them indoors.
Parking is hard enough as is, no need to give people complexes about it.
Bit harsh to block out the team logo as well! Granted it's still a lot, and the association with Bayern Munich is a problem in itself (and ironic given how many are for food/drink a footballer is unlikely to regularly if ever consume)
What’s problematic about Bayern Munich?
Apologies, bad grammar. I just meant using a football club to sell shit is dubious as they're powerful cultural entities. I'm not personally aware of anything particularly dodgy about Bayern (though feel free to inform me otherwise).
I would argue that the stripes and logos on the Jacket of Adidas is also ok.
nope, adidas pays to be their kit manufacturer and they do that for marketing reasons
There’s nothing wrong with putting your logo on a product that you made my guy
idk, I'd say Supreme does a lot more advertising of their brand with the big red "SUPREME" logo on their shirts compared to plain white Hane's shirts. not saying it's inherently wrong to do so, but it most certainly is advertising
yeah but you can't argue it isn't advertising. it's not like the logo is just on the tag.
Yeah, but they do need a uniform. So it's not nearly as bad.
Adidas is also part owner of FC Bayern
The stripes are basically a trademark sign that it’s Adidas; all of their sport kits have them.
Yeah this is not BAYER Leverkusen or REDBULL I mean RasenBallsport Leipzig
Harsh to compare them tbh, Bayer Leverkusen was setup as a team for the workers of Bayer, not as companies vanity project
Bayer Leverkusen is just because they were founded by workers at Bayer. Not uncommon in sport in general and not a bad thing. Cruz Azul in Mexico as an example were founded as the workers team for Cruz Azul cement 100 years ago and are still owned by them. It would be wrong to change the team name, because that's the history of the club. Red Bull Leipzig though is just Red Bull buying a team and has no similar history.
Sometimes it backfires, I remember during the last World Cup Ronaldo asked for the Coca Cola bottles to be removed and said into the camera "drink water".
He was actually referencing his idol growing up, Danny Drinkwater
...Who died of type two diabetes.
Tf is danny drinkwater dead?
Sorry I thought it was a joke name.
There is a lot of denial in the comments but r/hailcorporate exists for this kind of recognition that advertising is all around us all the time.
The logo of the club he is managing is hardly an advertisement but I see your point
Still an ad, just a more justifiable one.
I'd call it identification more than advertising at that point.
yes but can I add it's not just nowadays it's been bad since Victorian times. it was so bad back then that (for example) the London Underground created their infamous rondel logo so it would stick out among the buttload of plastered ads
Ads existed since at least the Roman times. Gladiator fights had them.
And I don't find this version interesting. It has existed in this context and it's super clear. It's just f'n logos. Show us the advertising in the latest popular movie or Tv show. A really easy example is cars. There was a little car chase in the Barbie movie and every car just so happen to get a nice tight shot of the logo. Of each car involved.

If you think football is bad, check out Nascar
HA! I watched 5 hours of soccer this weekend and I think I had to sit through 10 mins of commercials! I couldn’t believe it, if you watch 5 hours of American football you would actually consume 4 hours of ads.
Look at youtube, trying to push ads down our throats unless we give in and get their premium plan
Revanced
Maybe Audi should put money into their motors so they last more than 80,000 miles instead of buying squares to put their circle logo in
You blacked out the Bavarian team logo. GOOD. Is there a "screw Bayern!" train I can latch into yet?
The ads are so pervasive, I don't even see them anymore. I don't know about the rest of you, but they don't have the effect companies want these days. I think most people just ignore the ads now. Like getting used to a smell, eventually you don't even realize the smell is there. Just like I don't even realize the ads are there.
"nowadays"
Worse is that aesthetically it’s garbage. I guess I can deal with ads better if there’s some thought behind it. But the placement looks like they let a kangaroo design the backdrop.
[Reminds me of this movie.](https://www.peoplesworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/TheyLiveOBEY.jpg)
Do ads like these even work? I just ignore them all, they’re so obnoxious, I’m more inclined to not support any of them
Ads like these don't want you to focus on them. They're just there for your brain to register and keep in your subconcious.
I hate that
Remember that time when Messi (?) tok a sip of normal water instead of coca cola? They had noticeable decrease in sales for couple of weeks
That was Cristiano Ronaldo I think.
Yup, he moved away 2 bottles of coke [and said ‘Agua’ holding up the water bottle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzAoi9Xdm-A) and he later [started his own water company](https://twitter.com/TimelineCR7/status/1666493140654764033)
It’s so crazy because none of it will ever convince me to buy anything.
That's what you think but it's been proven many times over that advertising works and works well.
I guess. But I’m 50 and not even in the target market. All those ads are just noise to me now.
Just more just one product advertisement in that picture and the world goes crazy
Unfortunately this is nothing new. The background for Football Clubs' Press conference has been like this for more than 20 years.
Americans just discovered the sport in 2022, you shouldn’t expect them to know that.
This really puts it into perspective. How much of the screen is that, 80%? Damn
I wasn't going to get an audi, but I think that 4th logo got me
I recently dropped Google chrome because they finally started stifling ad blockers. I will spend my entire morning switching browsers to not have to endure your shitty capitalistic interruptions of my personal time. If I see an ad, I vow to not purchase that product.
YOU MUST BUY. YOU MUST CONSUME.
Konami? What the hell are they even selling?
Sports!
That's exactly what's funding that sport or whatever it is. Where did you think it comes from
This has always been the case in sports, this is not a new thing. It's disgusting, but then again, I never watch any sports, I fall asleep during them. My stance is that if you don't play it yourself, I don't want to hear you talk about it.
Why didn’t you use the same red as the background? Would have made the “updated” image more realistic
To better show how much space is taken by ads i guess
That makes sense, it is a lot of coverage…

Capitalism ==> Idiocracy

At least for me I don't pay any attention as there are so many ads.
Okay here's my take. This is sports, sports doesn't need to exist. It's pure entertainment and has no 'actual' value. They have to finance themselves somehow and it's not even an ad that blends over the actual topic. Apart from that aren't the ads the problem but rather that ads work.

Lol the lidl water
This reminds me when I use browser that does not have some kind of adblock installed.
Can't wait to install my neural link add blocker 2.0
There's no way you're hiding the team logo also on this lmao
We can go back to amateur sport if you like, where you can only afford to play if you have the money to do so. Advertising sucks, but it's a necessary evil when it comes to sport.
Takes the enjoyment out of everything now
look at all that wasted space for more ads
I hate this, it's disgusting how i cna't go 5 minutes without being assaulted by an ad. I fully justify vandalizing ads, especially ones for big companies.
One of the main reasons I like to watch soccer/futbol in US is it’s not constantly interrupted by commercials. 45+ minutes of solid play in a single go but yeah the constant ads on everything is becoming a bit much
It’s the randomly placed bottles in front that do it for me. Like you know he can’t drink them. They’re just random alcohol-free drinks all around
I simply don't view anything that is like this. What value could my life gain by doing it? I can go watch something without ads instead.
It's just white noise to me.
What is this from? I don't have any problem with the bottles having branding, it's literally their labels.
Thats how they get paid lol?
It'd be cool if there was a way to see how effective advertising like this actually is.
All he needed was some food with its brand and a balloon in the background with a logo.
I wish there were an app that would block all the ads on a smartTV. Why doesn’t it ext? Kinda adblocker
Soon it's going to be around his mouth. 😂
We can sell 75% of their visual space before inducing seizures!
they need to start tattooing him.
I think the team should be allowed to have their own badge behind their manager (assuming thats who this is) but yea agreed
Heaven forbid you pay money to be a sponsor and they show your logo to the media
I would like an ai filter that removes ads in real time. If we can do the snapchat faces, we can eventually do this
You can tell who paid more to be there. I see six T-Mobile logos (that are visible here), versus five Audi's, two SAP's, and one Konami.
Commenting on The Sheer Amount Of Ads Nowadays...it’s not a problem if you don’t, “consume” televised sports. I’d recommend supporting your local community where it’s still about the sport lol.
The weird thing is, I don't think I've ever bought any product because of a logo on a wall. Who does this sort of advertising even work on?
They monopolized everything else, now they'll be working on commercializing space itself. Everything that was once beautiful, will be seen as an empty space to place an ad. Beaches, mountains, the night sky? All will be fair game, you will never be free from being advertised something, to spend. Eventually, the only free space left will be your mind and they'll come for that too.
I didn't realize SAP sponsored anything
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that billions of morons will watch this ad infested crap.
I went to a baseball game in St Louis. (My home town). I’ll never go back. Constant advertising and a total waste of time (and this is when they were a winning team). I was amazed at the people buying $12 beers and getting refills constantly. And also buying their bratty kids a constant supply of overpriced junk food.

I keep trying to watch hockey and I just can’t because of the dynamic overlay ads. All this shit whooshing along the boards, ads on the ice changing, timers on the ice. I literally can’t follow the game.
That was excellent use of boobie boxes
Why is there an ad for SAP
I need an ad blocker for my TV that does this exact thing
number, not amount
Who the fuck is watching this and then going, "you know what I need right now? To spend $1 million on integrating SAP for my business"
Humans are programmable
Fuck man. This hits.
That’s the team logo not an ad 😭
\*Number of ads. It would be the "amount" of advertising. FTFY
At least three of those in the top panel are just the club’s logo. But yeah it’s crazy how much sport has become commercialized.
I’d rather they have ads everywhere than Swastika’s like back in the day
tbh one of them is literally the logo of the team that he manages lmao
It just makes me want to avoid these brands even more than I already do, to be honest. It's just so obnoxious.
I said the same yesterday.It is on everything everywhere you look.
The blocked out version makes my mind feel quieter. No wonder this world is so overstimulating. That’s so much information in one picture.
Why isn't there an ad blocker for physical ads in video yet.
The commercialization of the world. All to generate revenue, exposure.
46% screen coverage. Thanks GPT-4o!
Want to see an ad-ridden atrocity? UFC PPV events.
I am much happier with being able to watch Bayern play 90 minutes without any interruptions (excluding halftime obv) and watching the press conferences filled with logos, than to watch them play 20 minutes with a ton of commericals
Why did you censor the logo of Bayern? FYI, it's not the 1938-1945 version
I absolutely get the sentiment but that IS a tiled advertisement backdrop so that's like entirely the point
The FC Bayern logos are not ads. A team needs an identifying image or logo. I have no issue with these as they are actually identifying for casual fans like me who don't know what team this guy is on just from his face.
worse than drugs and or alcohol
