Consummate attention-whore Morgan Spurlock is at it again. Now he's soliciting your help to restore Times Square to its pristine pre-advertising configuration.
What inspired No Ad - NY? Sao Paulo, Brazil. Not the prettiest city in the world, but one with a striking feature: No outdoor ads. None. Since 2007, Sao Paulo has banned outdoor ads as a form of visual pollution. It inspired director Morgan Spurlock to think, why can't we do this in the US?
Even before his Super Size Me days when he was coercing girls to eat their own hair mixed with butter, it was obvious that this guy was an attention whore of the highest order. It appears to be working out pretty good for him. I just don't see his angel in this one. Times Square with no advertising? It's bad enough Giuliani got rid of the hookers, but would you even recognize Times Square without the garish advertising?
