New form of revenue for government!
« on: July 04, 2012, 08:23:41 pm »
Now here's an Independence Day story that brings tear to your eye. We are now so broke that we're selling advertising space on police cars, schools, various bits of city property (like manholes), and some places have even attempted to sell off or have landmarks sponsored to reduce costs. I'm so glad we've finally embraced our willingness/need to sell things we once held sacred just to make ends meet. The fact that corporations benefit from the endeavor as well lets me know that America is just how God intended: a capitalist paradise where the rich get richer and the poor.... well, we just don't think about them all that much.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I've heard about advertising on lockers before.

Doesn’t adspace on police vehicles create a conflict of interest with regards to law enforcement situations involving the sponsors of said ads?

People will be upset about this, but not upset enough to be willing to pay more in taxes.  Therein lies the problem.

The grocery store in my home town already advertises on the town's police cars and has had them for a long time.

I thought it was to make enough profit to improve your business or fail

Oh, you mean Republican capitalism
