If you can make one thing illegal...

People saying Skrillex IS dubstep i.e - he made it etc.

Don't get me wrong I like Skrillex, but alot of people don't just because he's the face of a genre he doesn't really make. And that's stupid: "Don't hate the player, Hate the fans" ( I know it's game but whatever, it wouldnt really make sense that way.)

If advertisement was banned most of the internet would die off.

no it wouldnt.. lol

a lot of major websites would dissapear.

and new ones would take its place

Sounds just great.

: S you sound like you have no idea about the internet

also ban the guy above me

I'd make it illegal for any politician to lie, if they can't prove everything that comes out of their mouth with 100% data driven fact, they have to be removed from society, assets seized and striped of any future public representation.
Stern but fair.

@Magma - Yeah, I retract the internet aspect of my original proposal - it wasn't really what I had in mind when I first posted but as an afterthought I just tacked it on because I do find them annoying.
As for the TV part of it - I genuinely think we'd gain more joy from sitting and talking to each other in the evenings than watching an episode or two of The Wire.
As I said (or maybe didn't. Can't remember if I edited my post) the idea is a long-term one for the benefit of future generations and humanity as a whole.

@JizzMan - Am I saying i'm available for hire?? (It's a continuation of the Laszlo theme. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Papp )

Yeah, I only spent 10 years of my life running gaming websites for profit through advertising that would've never been created if I couldn't have paid for their traffic somehow as a 14 year old. Advertising allowed me to make more money with more traffic, so no matter how much traffic I got I could always pay the bill. Remarkably appropriate.

I guess we should only let kids whose parents can bankroll them or have applied to government schemes to get ideas approved for funding make any kind of mark on the Internet though.

You're right, I don't know jackshit about this.

Yeah, I agree with all of this entirely. I had to go back and edit after I said we might not have had Sopranos without TV advertising and I realised that I was being a short-sighted dickhead. We might've all had 100s of hours more stimulating conversation per year for the last decade if we'd accidentally avoided this 2nd golden age of the Idiot Box.

I love you.

[Laszlo]

Although I do feel egregiously hypocritical because I do love quite a few TV shows AND i've had many a scintillating conversation about The Wire, Sopranos, Twin Peaks and so on..

Still though. The idea stands.

[Jizz]

haha, i was just joking mane

[Laszlo]

I know. I couldn't take you seriously seeing as you're advertising yourself as a wanker

[Pedro Sánchez]

As long as it's tasteful and honest I see no problem with advertising, it's just letting a potential customer know a product or service exists. Over the top in your face marketing campaigns where sub-cultures are raped to sell a shit product in an oversaturated marketplace though, they can fuckoff.

as soon as I had posted my comment I was really hoping you wouldnt pick on that

JizzMan, are you available for weddings and bar mitzvahs?

@Pedro - yeah fair enough but 'tasteful' and 'honest' are not words i'd associate with the advertising industry these days..

[collige]

I'm generally fine with ads.

Except for ones for prescription drugs.

okay angry wrestler, you're getting a little defensive here.. if you think that without advertisements only government websites will run you have been blinded by your own "profession" just a little bit... you're right though that gaming websites are pretty much advertisement ran.. so i applaud you on that
