Has anyone else noticed that energy conservation/limiting never seem to apply to advertising?

Consumers are told to limit their use of energy through a whole host of technologies and initiatives, while ads are becoming ever more visible and energy consuming.

It doesn't look too bad there, but when it's dark it's a pain in the ar....eyes.
