Fuck that shit up!
I dont want to sound like those hippies, but nature is fucking sacred. If they plaster their shit over our buildings, that sucks too, but hey, at least they arent adding more damage to nature.
But this? Fucking destroy it, this crosses the line. A walk on the beach is one of the last simple pleasures in life and the fucking greedy assholes think they need to take that peace away from us, because everything needs to be commerzialized. Fucking assholes, they finally need to learn they arent allowed to do everything, regardless of laws and courts
i was imagining how they prevent vandalism for something like this. but then i also thought of how many things someone could steal from it (batteries, motors, screens, etc.) and am wondering how something like this remains untouched
They had some of these off the beach here in the Gulf (around Gulf Shore Alabama), and multiple fishermen (myself included) started aiming for them with our pyramid sinkers. I never had the range to hit them but a couple of guys did.
No boat. Scuba / Snorkel out with car battery jumper cables. Attach to the power supply and then drop the other end into the ocean.
Fry the electronics. It shouldnt electrocute anything as there is way too much water, the electricity would just spread out to non harmful.
Then scuba / snorkel back undetected.
Your opinion is indeed fact. I took a university science class and Nestle was a huge part of it. They destroy everything and everyone they touch. People are starving all over the world because of Nestle.
Africa could be the richest and most prosperous continent on Earth. There are countless resources of much value, and more than enough to sustain its population. So why isn't this the case? Well, Nestle plays a pretty big part in that. Their evil, and reach really cannot be overstated.
yeah, I’m all for voting with your dollar but as someone who works in marketing (yes, I know) this is far more effective. reviews are much more likely to gain their attention than you not purchasing a shampoo every other month or whatever.
Same. I lost interest in these IPL games a long time ago and never used a Garnier product, but now I will make an effort to stay away from these two brands.
I’m commenting this on the top comment so maybe it gets seen.
I looked up that brand Garnier and apparently they are part of the ocean conservation
https://oceanconservancy.org/about/partner/garnier/
I’ve worked in the conservation field for most of my adult life. Corporate donations are a double-edged sword. On one hand, yes, nonprofits desperately need donations in order to do their work. But the corporation gets so much more out of their donation than they put in, in terms of free publicity and goodwill from the public. L’Oréal, like every other consumer goods corporation, puts its products in single-use plastic that winds up in the ocean.
That really is how I respond to advertising. The best services/ products don't really need to be advertised.
I'll never DL Nord VPN or play raid sl I'll tell you that much.
[The trick with thick, heavy gauge steel is that it is corroded by seawater sufficiently so that it gains a texture suitable for coral attachment, but still, it doesn’t degrade too fast – the steel base can persist for at least a century. On the other hand, vehicles and aircraft made from metal alloys are not as nearly successful since seawater chemistry causes alloy bonds to disintegrate, leading to preterm vehicle decomposition.](https://www.geographyrealm.com/artificial-coral-reefs/)
In the book NEXT by Michael Creighton, they genetically modify certain fish species in popular scuba sites to have advertising on the literal scales of the fish themselves. Other animals too I just can't remember.
Extra funny because anything you do which is against the free flow of capital (like filming animal abuse or blocking a pipeline construction) earns the label eco-terrorist. Wouldn’t be shocked if interrupting the free flow of these ads to our eyeballs would get the same designation.
Sorry officer, I didn't set their boats on fire.
I set this other boat on fire, and it just happened to drift into those boats, here's a vid of me really trying super hard to put the first fire out.
Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?
Fry: Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games, and on buses, and milk cartons, and T-shirts, and bananas, and written on the sky... But not in our dreams
when they block out the stars our ancestors have gazed at since the beginning. I would like sooner but it'll take that for the general public to even care.
Unfortunately, decades of advertisement and marketing research shows that exposure to brand names creates familiarity which makes you more likely to buy it in the future. You may not always remember the context in which you saw the ad, but you know the name and brand well enough to want to buy the product. Brand name recognition is a powerful thing.
Exactly. Which is why I don't understand so much anti-Trump posts. Same thing. It puts in him your mind, which is exactly what he wants. Just like these brands.
My conspiracy theory is that advertising is significantly less effective than they say. I think it keeps going and growing because of tradition, risk aversion, and the advertising industry selling its services with internal and heavily biased "research."
I'm sure some level of advertising is effective for some or most businesses, but I can't believe that plastering everything from billboards to gas pump to *the ocean* is really that effective.
There's an arms race between what they advertise, what *everyone else* advertises, and what consumers are forced to filter out.
Maybe I'm just stupid but I think there's at least some truth to it. Not like a global conspiracy, but decades of stupid business.
Have said this about prop planes flying ad banners low and slow when at the beach in San Diego. When people see open airspace as a great marketing opportunity all the good things in life feel endangered. Next up billboards on hiking trails.
Imagine sitting up in your hotel room, perfect view of the ocean from your balcony, you assemble your silenced sniper rifle then start poking holes in those floating eye sores with it
Yeah, so, there are almost certainly statutes you can cite for this being a big problem legally. If there are marine mammals in the area, MMPA. If there are sea turtle migrations like on the Georgia coast, there's that. Who is managing these advertisement craft? Who is selling them or renting the space? Is this a violation of eminent domain? Is this endangering any other vehicles or infringing on private property?
Fight them where they don't expect us to look.
Lol, “finally.”
I saw a comparison yesterday of how cancer cells multiply in a closed system, and behave basically exactly like capitalism does. The earth doesn’t have infinite resources to keep making record profits.
We’ve been screwed for a long time.
This has been known for a long time. It’s been wilfully ignored. The schemes designed to separate people from their money are getting more brazen. You can’t even go to the beach with thinking “fuck man do I ever need Garnier men’s face wash”
Nah, NJ has these at the shore during the summer, sadly.
Also, I recently saw a kite advertisement. A small boat was anchored in the river and a kite with large banners along the string was floating around. It pisses me off so much.
Edit. Found a website. https://kiteadz.com/
Reminds me of when I went to a concert and the walls had small tvs playing different ads the whole time. Definitely killed my vibe and won’t ever be going back to that venue.
Since no one can really "own" the oceans, would it be a crime for someone to either just torch, destroy, sink, or otherwise just remove this without any legal ramifications?
What a great way to make people hate your product. This would actually be an excellent strategy to buy one of these ads but advertising a competing brand. "Fuck Garnier! I'm buying Dove!"
Also maybe something is lost in cultural translation but as an American I could not fathom a team called The [city name] Americans. There's nothing wrong with it but it sounds sooooo weird. The New York Americans, the Manchester Britons, The Madrid Spaniards. It just doesn't work.
Jesus. I've been trying really hard to come out of depression. Practicing gratitude and affirmations every day. And then I see this shit 😩 makes me lose hope for humanity.
Someone needs to get a boat, go out there in the dark and sabotage that shit.
If you did it in the middle of the day people would cheer you on
Id be be worried about some asshole in the crowd calling the cops
Some fuckin ad simp would, too. Cunts.
nothing worse than an ad simp
Brought to you by Carl Jrs. Fuck you, I'm eating.
It's what your body craves.
TIL Carl Jrs. has Electrolytes
Good one, you made me laugh and it's been awhile...
With a smug face saying "look gang, I don't like them either, but we gotta play fair"
I'd pay a few young kids a token amount each to go throw rocks at it.
Potato cannon from shore. Make a game out of it.
Yes! Destruction of corporate property with added fun! Now thats my style!
His name was hankjw01
His name was hankjw01.
IM DOING MY HOMEWORK JUST LIKE YOU TOLD ME MR. DURDEN
*Flaming* potato cannon.
Ha! T up a few Golf balls sounds like it could be fun
I think we've already put enough trash in the ocean. How about we just throw rocks?
Ohhh we could get a trebuchet building competition going with the local schools!
OR just burn them. Super safe and contained lol
I shall send my oceanic friends to assist. This is a no for me dawg
Fuck that shit up! I dont want to sound like those hippies, but nature is fucking sacred.

Fucking assholes, they finally need to learn they arent allowed to do everything, regardless of laws and courts
The local addresses of these businesses are publicly accessible. Do with that information what you will. With extreme prejudice, if possible
i was imagining how they prevent vandalism for something like this. but then i also thought of how many things someone could steal from it (batteries, motors, screens, etc.) and am wondering how something like this remains untouched
New tiktok trend: Shoot those billboards
They had some of these off the beach here in the Gulf (around Gulf Shore Alabama), and multiple fishermen (myself included) started aiming for them with our pyramid sinkers. I never had the range to hit them but a couple of guys did.
Good lads! I know absolutely jackshit about naval jobs and vessels, but how common are harpoon launchers these days?

[удалено]
I'm with you there
Me 3!
And my axe
They're owned by Unilever
Fairly sure Garnier is a nestle brand too
Somehow this kind of BS seems perfectly on-brand for Nestle
Fuck nestle
Garnier is owned by L'Oreal
L’Oréal has 23.3% of shares owned by nestle so they do own it in a really roundabout way.
tf, nestle is everywhere
Nestle is the biggest plague on humanity, methinks.
Your opinion is indeed fact. I took a university science class and Nestle was a huge part of it. They destroy everything and everyone they touch. People are starving all over the world because of Nestle.
Africa could be the richest and most prosperous continent on Earth. There are countless resources of much value, and more than enough to sustain its population. So why isn't this the case? Well, Nestle plays a pretty big part in that. Their evil, and reach really cannot be overstated.
I wonder what the world would loo like if nestle and Disney owned companies dissapeared.
No more chocolate rats!
Fuck both
Fuck them too
Better yet, find an Amazon or Google listing and review-bomb it, citing their abuse of the beaches.
yeah, I’m all for voting with your dollar but as someone who works in marketing (yes, I know) this is far more effective. reviews are much more likely to gain their attention than you not purchasing a shampoo every other month or whatever.
Well, time to find a new boxed hair dye. I am too cheap to go to a salon for that.
Do you use crazy colors? Lime crime, arctic fox, and manic panic are pretty well regarded. Wouldn’t recommend splat unless nothing else really takes.
Same. I lost interest in these IPL games a long time ago and never used a Garnier product, but now I will make an effort to stay away from these two brands.
Yeah, instant never buy on Garnier. L'Oreal is the parent company. Time to Nestle this shit and ditch their whole lineup.
I mean, Nestle has had part ownership of L'Oreal for 20 years. They should already have been ditched.
Reach out and tell them this and why.
I’m commenting this on the top comment so maybe it gets seen. I looked up that brand Garnier and apparently they are part of the ocean conservation https://oceanconservancy.org/about/partner/garnier/
Why am I skeptical. Also Coca Cola is also a partner? El oh el

maybe it's competitors' work? anti-advertising!
That really is how I respond to advertising. The best services/ products don't really need to be advertised. I'll never DL Nord VPN or play raid sl I'll tell you that much.
Get fucked. I would love to see them sink
Please don't..... The ocean already has plastic junk in its deepest of trenches
Artificial reef for the fishes 😃

Gross
This has to be against the Geneva convention or something wtf
Yeah, look at all that unmonetized space going to waste. They could easily fit way more ads in there.
Holy crap, if that was off my beach I would grab a kayak and go sabotage it. Not sink it, don't want the rubbish in the sea.
You could remove the sign from the floatation mechanism and just leave a fun raft out there
I like this idea best. A nice compromise between effort and action.
This is a great opportunity for the graffiti community
Drag it to shore and harvest the parts. Has to have some good batteries, solar panels, and it's a reasonable pontoon boat.
You could with a little effort just change them into ‘Garnier - No. 1 ruining sunsets in India’ and ‘Bombay Indians’
I like the trolling but it'd still be burning the name in peoples' minds, meaning it'd still be doing the job of advertising.
I'm becoming a terrorist /s for the FBI agents
I’m right with you.
Extra funny because anything you do which is against the free flow of capital (like filming animal abuse or blocking a pipeline construction) earns the label eco-terrorist. Wouldn’t be shocked if interrupting the free flow of these ads to our eyeballs would get the same designation.

I was thinking that it’s awesome they put up targets from some good ol rock throwing
Viking funeral comes to mind

At what point do we pull out the guillotines? Because ruining sunsets is **bananas**.
when they block out the stars our ancestors have gazed at since the beginning. I would like sooner but it'll take that for the general public to even care.
Have you ever seen the Milky Way? You already don’t know what you’re missing. The general public will always choose their consumerism over the stars.
Awful.
That’s awful
Do companies not realize this just makes us less likely to buy their shit?
Not if people who will still buy their products are in a majority.
Unfortunately, decades of advertisement and marketing research shows that exposure to brand names creates familiarity which makes you more likely to buy it in the future. You may not always remember the context in which you saw the ad, but you know the name and brand well enough to want to buy the product. Brand name recognition is a powerful thing.

Just wait until advertisers can block out the stars.
That is called light pollution, and lit up billboards are probably contributing to that
Have said this about prop planes flying ad banners low and slow when at the beach in San Diego. When people see open airspace as a great marketing opportunity all the good things in life feel endangered. Next up billboards on hiking trails.
What is this? Is this real? I am horrified 🤯
Absolutely vile.
This is the only thing that’s ever made me consider an act of terrorism. I want to sink those billboards so bad.
Is that terrorism? Who are you terrorizing?
Capital
Multimillionaire shareholders who have to watch their stock drop 0.2% in value.
More just vandalism I would say.
Imagine sitting up in your hotel room, perfect view of the ocean from your balcony, you assemble your silenced sniper rifle then start poking holes in those floating eye sores with it
Mumbai Indians- redundant or a sports team?
It's a sports team in a cricket league called Indian Premier League.
“Go Indians!” wouldn’t turn many heads there, I’d expect. Probably elicits a reply to the effect of “we are,” right?
It has real "Montréal Canadiens" energy.
A cricket team
Wait until you hear about their sister teams, Mumbai Indians Cape Town, Mumbai Indians Emirates and Mumbai Indians New York.
It's a stupid name that stuck. They also have teams in New York and Cape town called MI New York and MI Cape Town.
This should be illegal
I’d throw stuff at them lol
"Hey babe, heading to the beach for a while." "Why are you only bringing a kayak and a cordless angle grinder?"
"and at 1am?"
Yeah, so, there are almost certainly statutes you can cite for this being a big problem legally. If there are marine mammals in the area, MMPA. If there are sea turtle migrations like on the Georgia coast, there's that. Who is managing these advertisement craft? Who is selling them or renting the space? Is this a violation of eminent domain?

I dont like this subreddit much, but on this i can 100% agree
What's the issue with anti-consumption?
Pirates needed.
This sunset was brought to you by Carl's Jr.! Carl's Jr., Fuck you, I'm eating.
Literally saw these yesterday in Mumbai. Spoils the view of the skyline so much!
“They will steal even the sky from you”. Wherever the horizon sets, I guess
Fuck this so so much. God they already shovel shit into our mouths enough as it is, can't we have nature stay the way it was intended?
You're kidding me
Has capitalism finally lost its goddamn mind
Lol, “finally.” I saw a comparison yesterday of how cancer cells multiply in a closed system, and behave basically exactly like capitalism does. The earth doesn’t have infinite resources to keep making record profits. We’ve been screwed for a long time.
This has been known for a long time. It’s been wilfully ignored. The schemes designed to separate people from their money are getting more brazen. You can’t even go to the beach with thinking “fuck man do I ever need Garnier men’s face wash”
This is ridiculous and I would never buy those products just because of this filth.
Orcas need to start do'n their thing.
Makes me want to never buy those brands
I'd make a hobby out of destroying these things. Thats the sort of vandalism I can get behind. Sink ads, make new reefs.
Boycott any company that does this
How do they even come up with stuff like this?!...
This should be illegal.
i’m gonna become an ecoterrorist if this keeps happening
Some diver needs to step up
This Sunset is brought to you by NordVPN.
You're allowed to swim out and destroy them btw
All this does is make me never purchase those products out of spite
Target practice
Ah, nice—they've placed practice targets in the ocean!
What the fuck is this shit? Floating billboards? Jesus Christ… just… no
I’d dead ass destroy those and sink them lmao
Just wait until they do this shit on the moon/night sky.
This should be banned immediately.
I'd rather see windmills than more shitty advertising...
Great. Now you have me thinking about windmills with advertising on them. … matter of time.
Idiocracy was a prophecy.
Are you freaking kidding me!!!!
I can’t believe there aren’t laws against this shit. Frankly I’d avoid the brand
I think they should put ads on each paper of a toilet paper roll. We'd clean our butts with a big smile. ☺️
Marketing...when NIMBY makes sense...
Horrible
Great target practice for flaming arrows
This is sickening.
Instead it needs to be sinkening.
Seeing no structure or people behind them,I’m wondering how the sights are on the rifle
this is who Thanos should have snapped. advertising people
Disgusting
Gotta boycott that shit tbh
Graffiti vandals - the world needs you right now
Great now IRL Adblock is going to be a thing.
Swim out and sink it
Shoot it with BB guns or other devices
This should be illegal and whomever the cunt is that didn’t ought to be fined
Target practice
Target parctice! Nice!
Depending on how far out those things are I’d bring a sling shot and find some rocks.
If you had told me this was from the set of a new Black Mirror episode, I would have believed you. 😳
Time to start packing the pellet gun at the beach.
quickest way to make me avoid a product and commit vandalism
That's gross
I remember bill hicks asking the audience if there were any publicists, and then telling them to kill themselves, for the good of the world.
And I thought the US was bad with billboards on our highways. You guys beat us outright
Nah, NJ has these at the shore during the summer, sadly. Also, I recently saw a kite advertisement. A small boat was anchored in the river and a kite with large banners along the string was floating around. It pisses me off so much. Edit. Found a website. https://kiteadz.com/
They look like targets to me.
This is real? Disgusting
This fills my heart with spite
Give me spray paint, a kayak and I will make sure no one has to see that shit again.
So, what radicalized you?
Reminds me of when I went to a concert and the walls had small tvs playing different ads the whole time. Definitely killed my vibe and won’t ever be going back to that venue.
That is so sad
It should be legal to own anti-advertisement torpedoes.
Since no one can really "own" the oceans, would it be a crime for someone to either just torch, destroy, sink, or otherwise just remove this without any legal ramifications?
Time to gather the Swabbies and send some enemy vessels to Davey Jones. Yar!
Looks like a reef wanting to happen...
This is being done in the states as well. These should all be sunk. We shouldn't stand for it.
Ads like these just make me NOT want to buy any other product from those particular brands ever again.
What a great way to make people hate your product. This would actually be an excellent strategy to buy one of these ads but advertising a competing brand. "Fuck Garnier! I'm buying Dove!" Also maybe something is lost in cultural translation but as an American I could not fathom a team called The [city name] Americans. There's nothing wrong with it but it sounds sooooo weird. The New York Americans, the Manchester Britons, The Madrid Spaniards. It just doesn't work.
Makes me want to buy a rocket launcher or cannon.
Jesus. I've been trying really hard to come out of depression. Practicing gratitude and affirmations every day. And then I see this shit 😩 makes me lose hope for humanity.
