Is Adzookie, a startup mobile ad firm, riding a wave of free publicity over its offer to pay people's mortgages in exchange for them turning their houses into giant ads? Yes, it is. Does the company have a specific client in mind for the garish ads? Yes: Adzookie itself. Is this even legal? Not everywhere. It would be prohibited by many municipal ordinances. Is public opinion pretty much evenly divided on the issue, vacillating between "Hell yes, sign me up!" and "God no, civilization is coming to end"? Yep, that seems to be the case.
