Anti-ad activists battle billboards

AP , PARIS

Suzanne's group alone attacked more than 50 billboards in at least eight stations. At one stop, they happened across other campaigners slapping up stickers marked, "The struggle against ads continues." Other stickers read, "Every day I wash my brain with advertising," mocking laundry detergent ads.

"Advertising is a one-way message that amounts to harassment," said one campaigner, Nicolas, a teacher in his 30s. "We should have the right to refuse it."
