    many advertising companies have argued it would undermine their industry.

    This part is pretty laughable.

        Right? How will they be able to afford naming rights to venues, etc. Imagine if advertisers like today had been around in ancient times. We would have things like The Great Samsung Wall, the Khufu.com Pyramids of Egypt, or Kentucky Fried Chichén Itzá. Advertising like we have now is literally a herpes on society and no tears will be shed by me if their industry is undermined.
