Well, perhaps event promotion is fine. But I wouldn't shed a tear if product advertising was banned in practically all its forms.
You could argue that movies are products but at least movies have a short lifespan so their promotion is time-limited. I guess you could argue that bands and sporting events and such-like are products too. But I'm okay with "music_performance_x/sporting_event_y/movie_z/theatrical_performance_w is coming to venue_v from time_t1 to time_t2" type promotions :)
There's an advertising hoarding/billboard on top of the opera house in the city where I'm from. For a car company. Been like this for as long as I remember. Permanent blot on the city-scape. Permanent eye-sore. Makes me dislike the opera house as a venue because of it. Yuck.
I disapprove of billboards in general and most forms of outdoor advertising. I'm not against personal recommendations and location-based promotion.
I'm sick of having my attention grabbed while consuming media, while browsing the web, while walking or driving. I install ad-blockers on whichever device I can. I keep TV viewing to a minimum and am continually put off by the sheer volume of ads and their vacuity.
I do listen to the radio a lot, I hate the ads on radio less, you can sort of tune them out. Visual ads I guess I hate the most.
