AKBAZI are not your billboards!

"Seems like the more folks intrude
the more these creatures are screwed
Just 'cause we want more marks to burn
The thing to cause the most strife is our 'civ'lized' life
Oh, when are we gonna learn?"
--Orrin Omnifarious, Holographic Zoo

We are "lucky" enough to live in a time where advertisements and media bombard us everywhere we go - there are endless options for advertising just about anything - most of which are often overused and abused by charlatans looking to make a quick mark off naive and unsuspecting spacers, but I digress - why then, with all these options at our disposal, did it ever cross anyone's mind that we should be using innocent AKBAZI as our billboards?

The public commsphere, the commerce channel, holographic ad projectors, allof these options and yet someone still thought it was a cute and novel idea to saddle helpless animals with CONSUMERIST PROPAGANDA, LITERALLY burdening these animals with holographic advertisements... ads that would be just as effective - perhaps even moreso - without the animals?

Is a bit of novelty in your advertising worth their pain to you?

Akbazi are living things. They are not your billboards. Akbazi don't care about your products, your dynasty, your events, your hot takes, your goredog fights, your mods, your factional mudslinging...

Buy yourself a holographic ad projector. Leave the animals out of it.

If I see anything being advertised using an adkbaz, I am, for my part, completely and utterly ignoring it. If the thing advertised was something that I may have supported personally or in my work as Director of JoyCo, I will quietly mark it off the list of things we are interested in sponsoring, participating in, or even acknowledging, and I will urge all my associates in JoyCo and GCEPS to do the same.

Please join me in protesting the entire concept of "adkbazi" - it's not funny, it's not cute, and it's not humane.

Have a bright day!
