Everyone knows how much I hate advertising but this is really taking it over the top. I guess these people are prisoners for a reason but it seems like the beginning of something bad.
Starting next week, advertisements will begin to run at the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo. Interspersed will be some "need-to-know" information, in case this is your first time in lock-up.
The screens will run relevant information, such as the rules and regulations of the holding centre, while also airing public-service announcements for “socially responsible issues and county services†such as addiction rehabilitation.
It will also air advertisements, most notably for defence attorneys and bail bondsmen. since the audience will likely be looking for some help in that field....
However, the ads will not be limited to just services targeted to those in jail, Diina said.
“Eventually, most of these people get out. So they do represent the future of the marketplace,†he said.
The crazy part is the payoff is so litte.
The advertising at Erie County Holding Center could bring in more than $10,000 a year. Half of the spots already have been sold.
I guess any profit made is good in Buffalo desperate financial situation but it seems like such an insignificant amount in the budget of Erie County. Like that could have saved that much not running generators 24/7 for like 5 months on my corner when they were doing road construction.
Proof that there are loose nutters around.
Well the 2nd comment does make a little bit of sense from the fact that this is a risk that may and will happen someday that you live with... Like if you live in the outerbanks a Hurricane will do damage and if you are on the beach it will happen and if off the beach it may happen........
That being said I get that some people do think that Non Believers and those who fall from faith are punished in this life aren't there all kinds of plagues in the bible... I can also see how people who think like that would then think that bad things happen to people and that is the cause...... But where I get lost is that I have never heard of a Muslim Japanese person.... What I have heard of is many Christians ....... Now I get to these extreme people that any other faith other then the one they believe is the devil and a cult and sends you directly to hell even if you believe in the same guy ..... So you are say Baptist you go to Heaven but Southern Baptist direct line to hell as an example it is just crazy........
Ridiculous.
