3 days ago I did a clean install of my operating system.
Hitting the web I immediately realized that something was different:
Every single page was full of ads. Glowing, throbbing, pulsating nightmares.
Familiar faces like Digg, Facebook, etc. were rendered hard to read.
I reinstalled Adblock Plus in my Firefox and I was again free from it all.

Then I remebered my recent trip to São Paulo…

You have no idea why, yet the city feels light.
Then it dawns on you:
no ads.

There was a recent city-wide ban on every type of publicity.
Words cannot convey the greatness of this law.
You can see the urban landscape without being told what to buy.

I’ve seen the future…
Ban the fucking publicity, and access content free from distractions.

This is sand armchair No.1

I had other ideas but spent the rest of the time changing the course of the river.
…yes I know I desperately need a tan. 5 days weren’t enough for my city-bound white ass.
