In the Salt Lake Valley one of the major outdoor advertisers will periodically post billboards with random trivia facts along with phone numbers and or website url's.
They do this so they can show prospective clients how effective their advertising is.
On a recent trip into the city I saw a billboard that said Cosmo is porn! with a phone number.
Silly me. I thought it was one of the signs from the advertising company.
It never entered my thought process that it might be a legit attempt to convince people to support Todd Weiler.
I needed an inkjet to print some books with lots of photos for a family project. I bought the Epson Eco Tank. They sell you bottles of ink instead of cartridges and you can even throw in cheap no name ink if you want.
Like supporting an artist you like, buying this printer and the ink from them sends a message that I'll support this business model.
We have been thrilled with the way it works. Sometimes need to run a clean when it sits for a couple months but when that isn't wiping out a $35 cartridge it becomes a trivial mater.
Back then this type of action would have thrown the entire campus into a frenzy. Students would have refused to go to class, marches, protests, even the faculty would have been involved.
That none of that is happening says a lot about how docile the population has become.
Our ad was rejected because WMATA’s advertising policies forbid, among many other things, advertisements “intended to influence members of the public regarding an issue on which there are varying opinions” or “intended to influence public policy.”
What if the ad was rejected because it is an issue on which there are varying opinions?
Seems there are at least 535 people in the immediate neighborhood who have the opinion that this should be discarded.

I would expect this at BYU not Cal.

Faulty assumption?
