Notice how not a single person down below gives one single flying fuck about the ad. Next they'll try to smack you in the face with an add on a fly swater just to get your attention. And big boobs on the fly swater probably.

How utterly revolting. I get peoples comments about religion, but that doesn't somehow remove the fact that this is a beautiful piece of architecture being marred by a disgusting shitty advert.
Agreed. What's even the point of arguing in favor of the cultural legacy of a given religion in shaping a city's architectural history if they pull shit like this?
Pretty cool glasses though
Ladies take note - these glasses look cool on a supermodel
There is a 99% chance they will make you look like a blind pensioner
My grandma would love it
I'm not a fan of evil capitalists, but I think I'd take even them over organised religion, which is at best just a protection racket / cult of control.
which is at best just a protection racket / cult of control.
And capitalism isn't this because.... ?
Religion indoctrinates you into replacing reason with faith in your earliest formative years, when you don't have the tools to realize what they're doing to you, which I think accounts for the cult of control thing.
Not sure I'd take them over religion though, given that capitalism is on the tracks to destroy our actual ecosystem. I'm going to be a centrist on this issue and claim that both suck. Very brave, I know.
Religion indoctrinates you into replacing reason with faith in your earliest formative years,
Capitalism indoctrinates you into replacing reason with consumerism, individualism and classism - and let's not forget capitalism's alter ego, fascism... which adds the white supremacism, militarism, nationalism and misogyny. And it does this long before you hit puberty.
Religion, on the other hand, is a mixed bag - it can be used to to support the above, or it can be used to teach that capitalists should be chased out with a whip woven out of horsehair (or something).
So no... I'll take religion and I won't look back.
Tax the churches now!
It does convey the (accurate) message that money is more important to the church than its message or its congregation.
The church is under construction. What you see behind the ad is a printed photo of what the church will look like, it is not actual architecture.
This is like a poster on the wood walls they place around construction sites, it's fine.
Oh wow, that's a really weird thing to put on a church. I mean, I like ladies, but I'd never put giant pictures of them up on a building as a permanent installment. To each their own, I guess.
We're aware of that, it's the popup advert that we can't click to close that's depressing :-/
*restoration
id still rather have no ad tho
True, but this is likely to be helping fund the reconstruction/repair work. So it's kinda benefits everyone if it's saving money from the public purse.
It's a church soooo, still a no in my book. To many pedo priests getting outted atm.
I mean I agree but cool religious architecture is still worth maintaining. If only we could start building cathedrals for things like Denny's.
I can get behind that.
ask if they're okay with it from behind though
Do you think people raging over pictures of it on socmed are part of the appeal to marketers?
Hmm let's go see some interesting architecture.. oh shoot I forgot i need to buy stuff I don't need. Thanks samsung.
🌎🧑🚀Is nothing sacred?🔫🧑🚀Never was.
Saw something similar when I was in Paris at the Louvre last fall. I couldn't believe my eyes at first. As if the tourist masses (myself not excluded, sadly) weren't bad enough.
God those are some ugly fucking glasses.
When I'd only seen the thumbnail and not the whole pic, I thought the title was talking about stupid glasses.
Who on earth chose to build a church behind this beautiful Samsung™ 4K screen?
umm, you need something to mount the giant screen, don't you? So might as well have some class while you're at it.
I don't know if after building a 4K screen, a church like that could ever be built.
This is definitely scaffolding erected to facilitate repairs. Of all use cases for advertising, I cannot possibly complain about this one as it seems to be funding the repairs and the ugly scaffolding is being camouflaged by the dressing that mimics the underlying surface. Yeah, its always gonna suck to a certain degree to see ads plastered on a landmark like this, but if it's only temporary during repairs and helps maintain the building then I'm all for it.
Oh great……. CONTEXT. NOW what am I supposed to do with all of this boiling rage?
Ask why a historical monument has to rely on advertising dollars to be repaired. Why the kinds of organisations that would put a garish ad billboard over the top are the ones with all the power in our society.
Just because the billboard is funding repairs doesn't mean it's good. It's emblematic of how much is being hoarded by capitalists.
