Billboards: The Crudest Form of Advertising - Stuart McMillen comics

A reptile brain sits deep within us. How much of our behaviour comes from primal instinct? Growing up in regional Australia in the 1990s, I adopted the casual racism of the schoolyard. As an adult, I had to educate myself out of these racist attitudes.

In São Paulo, Brazil, (my hometown) we got rid of billboards more than ten years ago (there's a law called "Cidade Limpa", i.e. clean city, against billboards, you can read about it on Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cidade_Limpa)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cidade_Limpa).</a> The city is way better now, I couldn't imagine how it would be before they took them down. Nowadays whenever I travel abroad I'm shocked by the sheer amount of public advertising in the cities.
