Advertising is so pervasive that people don't even notice it anymore it just blends in to the background and people assume that's what a city is meant to look like, they had no advertising in the DDR and AFAIK still don't in NK.

I mean the single cosmetic ad is a problem and I think ads should be illegal, but all of the other signs are attached to their buildings, rather than being an advertisement. So if you're talking about those, it is not the same.

With the exception of the one, maybe.

Gotta bleach your skin so you can look white, I'd hate to look like a farmer.
