    “Man is at his vilest when he erects a billboard,” Ogilvy wrote. “When I retire from Madison Avenue, I am going to start a secret society of masked vigilantes who will travel around the world on silent motor bicycles, chopping down posters at the dark of the moon."

See Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang, inspired by my mother's near single-handed efforts to force New Mexico outdoor advertising to use inflammable materials.
