Brand Killer, AdBlock in real life

If you want my 2 cents, I think it's stupid. Like, REALLY STUPID. Ads that are designed to sell you stuff is one thing, but logos are distinguished. Even if they could get great recognition of logos and blur out easily, how are you supposed to tell one thing apart from the other? I saw the lucky charms thing. It blurred out the entire logo and from the looks of it, you wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a single serving of fruit loops. I imagine "hey I wanted lucky charms, but these are fruit loops." You want a shampoo with a certain fragrance, but you can't tell the fragrance because that indicator is part of the logo and since it's all blurred out you get the wrong shampoo. You have to choose between 2 types of hot dogs at the grocery store, one is quality all beef hot dogs and the other is end trails surprise and since the logos are blurred out you end up getting end trail surprise. This is absolutely terrible.
