L'ANIMA DI PUBBLICITĂ€

Okay, I know I probably say this way too much, but honestly, what the fuck is going on in this world? According to today's edition of the Chicago Tribune, "Soon, Rome's beloved Pantheon, the former pagan temple that has survived through the ages in the heart of the city, will become the first Roman antiquity to be covered by ads." Why? The organization behind all of this, Italia Nostra, an environmental agency that is working to link up advertisers with restoration projects, they're selling advertising space on scaffolding being used to restore the antiquities. So, according to people against the project, the Italia Nostra is using restoration as an excuse to put up scaffolds so they can post their advertisements on some of the most prime ad-space in the world. Sounds like bullshit to me. Is nothing sacred anymore?
