Ok, well i've had this idea for a long time and most people said i'm an idiot. Anyways, i think advertising supported disposable goods. I.E. paper towels, plates and toilet paper , etc that is a lot cheaper because there is random paid advertising on it. I mean i think a lot of people could care less and would buy it, instead of paying more for normal stuff. What do you guys think?

I'm sure there is still great profit to be had in further deminishing the already enormously deminished psyche of everyday people. And yes, I'm sure we'll will lap it up.

If you get a minute, perhaps you can turn your attention to the ozone layer, the dying coral, the erosion of farm land, or global warming.

Good idea, if we post some ads on the ozone layer, I mean c'mon, people look up there all the time. The coral and eroded farmland is useless now, so we might as well post some Nike and Coca-cola ads on 'em. I dunno how you propose to advertise using global warming, though...maybe more Coke ads?

I personally wouldn't buy printed plates unless I knew for damn sure that the ink wasn't going to mix with my food. I can see the coated plates, maybe, but if it was just ordinary cheap paper... I don't think so.

As for toilet paper, do you really want to wipe ink up your ass?

I was thinking that about the paper plates also Viper, but I've seen some paper plates which have patterns and stuff on them, I guess they could reconfigure the machines to print out advertising logos, instead. I'm sure they'd find some way to do it (maybe it could be 2 layers...the bottom layer would have the actual printed material, the top would be a clear layer so that people could see the ad.

i figured, like gas stations and poorer people would buy the toilet paper, you know gas stations in the middle of nowhere. Besides they already print patterns and stuff on paper towels and toilet paper, and plenty of plates have stuff on them like those birthday ones.
