They Ruin Every Other Place . . .

. . . why not the beach, too?

The once quaint, red-lettered banner dragged behind a small bi-plane has increasingly given way to gigantic sky banners, sailboats equipped with logo-emblazoned sails, grooming equipment that paves the beach with logos in the sand, logoed umbrellas, handouts, beach chairs, towels and flip-flops. Tantalized with the ability to reach millions of beach goers each summer, advertisers can't pass up the opportunity to ruin the once pristine views one might assume exist at their local beach.

With so many people spending time on-line, maybe we oughtta just ban all outdoor advertising. There are plenty of advertising avenues through TV, radio, and the Internet. Why blight the outdoors?

That's not a proposal, by the way. We're just thinking out loud. Don't get angry or start pelting us with private property and First Amendment issues.
