what ghoul failed at their job so badly that I can still sit idly at a traffic light for 40 seconds without watching an ad about forgettable-mayo-movie-3984438974239029 or detergent?

You mean billboards? Those have been around for ages. I've seen digital ones that change themselves regularly.

we don't have billboards in the suburbs, also they're not attached to the traffic lights. it's an outrage because why am I sitting for half or sometimes a whole minute with nothing commercial assaulting my eyeballs

If they were attached to the lights, nazis would run stuff on them. Governments can't censor. Private companies can.

gee what a useful distinction, it's a lucky thing the class interests that dominate bourgeois governments don't also dominate their private companies!

Of course governments can censor.
