Ads That Pay Your Mortgage, Then Rob Your Neighbors

AdZookie rendering

MSN Video interview with AdZookie representative

It seems AdZookie has really hit this one out of the park. The idea is they will pay your mortgage for between 3months and a year if you allow them to vinyl wrap your house in a giant advertisement. While I have an infinite number of issues with this I would like to point out one thing. Adzookie claims that despite the obvious volatile nature of this new media development, this will prevent potential foreclosures allowing neighborhoods to stay intact and ultimately that will outweigh any neighborly concerns about the blight this will cause. I would say that what neighbors will be most upset about is not the fact that said home owner has defaced the community with commercial signage, but rather that said home owner has significantly lowered the property value of everyone's homes within site of this monstrosity.
