This reminds me of a short story I started but never finished. the story was about a small town where advertising was illegal. but soon the business owners get together and devise a way to advertise their products and services through peoples sub-conscious through hidden ads and whatnot. soon the people, who are not use to the constant bombardment of ads, began to go crazy and obsessed with the products. they fight each other, break into buildings and basically riot to find these services. once the services run out of supply the mob turns on the owners.

this is just a brief run down of the story... I need more coffee to explain it better. although Now I think i may try to write it again.
