But still can't get these powerful images of Sao Paulo's ban on billobards out of my mind. It's like an urban-scale mute control.

Which also brings to mind Steve Mann's "visionary" solution to what he termed the "theft of solitude" such as offensive advertising encroaching on personal private space

The Reality Mediator. Rather than a mute, it is a kind ot TiVo control, which is a Visual filter to regain control of what is rightfully ours (our personal attention), implemented within an embodiment of the WearCam invention and what the wearer of the Reality Mediator sees

A much more calming image, which is more conducive to the task at hand.
