'It was chaos': The history of San Francisco's most unforgettable ad

There's some irony in this comment. It's also a textbook ad hominem.

I love the ad and the stunt. I would have been as giddy as a child if I'd seen it in person.

It's also rings true to me that it's rather wasteful and destructive in service of selling TVs.

Shrug, what's done is done so I'm free to enjoy it guilt-free while also thinking we probably shouldn't do stunts like this anymore.

Seems cool enough to me that it should have been done independent of selling TVs. I don't think it is wasteful, and to the extent it was destructive, it was well worth it.

We should encourage and welcome more of this, not less. How it is funded does not diminish this, IMO.

Pardon me if "it looked cool" isn't persuasive.

To each their own. I hope there is something that sparks joy for you.

I already admitted that this brings me joy. I love things like this.

It's just not a very persuasive argument, even when I make it to myself, because I believe so strongly that other things are more important.
