Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

I call on all hackers to defeat this parasitic disease from incorporating our everyday lives only to make money for its creators. Ads are a fucking disease and needs to be contrroled from entering our lives without our permission.

I call on all consumers to buy used old vehicles that don't do shit like this.

I call on all Americans to start the revolution so we can treat the disease instead of the symptoms.

Stellantis is a Dutch group. If we head to Michigan and get the CEO, they'll just appoint a new one... Unless you're suggesting the Americans invade the Netherlands...

I mean tear down and replace this government so the balance of power shifts back to the people and we can bring the corporations to heel.

And take it one step further so that whoever wants to check on it will see the ads playing even though no ads are playing.
