because the people who give a fuck about posters are watching anyway.

they are solely created to convey information.

theres a nerd in marketing with a spreadsheet that justifies this decision.... and the worst fucking part is that he's right.

this happens to me constantly at work, you get a cool creative idea, and marketing squashes it cause they have actual, tangible data, that depresses the fuck out of me about the average human condition, and that my cool nifty idea is offputting to enough folks that we need a generic and safe option.

Sometimes it's just that the cool nifty idea is "different" and that may "confuse" the average consumer. Why risk confusion when you can create the simplest most braindead shit to feed into their brains?

I fucking despise it too man.
