Paris has rules against shop lights from 1-5am to deal with light pollution and energy waste. So of course, someone had to try to go around the rules.

Lighting in cities is generally a good thing.

Circadian rhythm disruption. 90% of people in the civilized world live in cities and most don't use pitch-black window blinds or curtains.

It is bad design if people are unable to have darkness where they
sleep. Good lighting design fixes that.

A city without lights would be terrible.

It is not the light itself, but the vulgar, violent and completely inappropriate manner in which it is provided. It is not the absence of light but the excess of the same in completely the wrong place and time.

City street lighting may well be the sole reason we have not been contacted by aliens. We are considered far too dim to warrant their interest. They are patiently waiting until we fit proximity sensors and impose a global ban on the use of artificial light for advertising.

Product promotion, light trespass is a vile crime against humanity and should be the subject of the strongest sanctions available! We teach our children not to lie. Then subject them to constant corporate lies from blinding birth to a slow and lingering death. Once infected by advertising we have no way to treat the symptoms. There is no inoculation against the lifelong harm to innocence and an unfettered, free choice.

Carpet bombing children and civilians is considered a crime against humanity. So why not ban all advertising? It is far more damaging to a far greater number of innocent people.

Just look at self-harming behaviours which riddle our society! Chronically advertised, obese zombies stalk our streets looking for another abusive meal between meals. Or search for another toxic sugar bomb dealer.

Desperate children approach complete strangers on street corners. Each trying to buy a hideously disfiguring iPhoney just to satiate their greed for anything with functioning batteries. We could end spinal curvature right here and right now if they just banned iRottenApple's false advertising!

This isn't just affecting a few foreigners cowering in some rubble-strewn hell under bombardment by some evil despot like Pootin. It is happening right here and right now to our very own children, ourselves and our own parents! Let's end this once and for all!
