Yard Signs...Really?

The use of yard signs in political campaigns I strongly feel should be banned.  I mean...is this a Third World country or what?  They always have bizarre looking posters plastered all over public spaces hawking various candidates (with no useful information on them other than some empty slogans). 

We in the US of course have advanced to the point of having cardboard signs (and ugly billboards)...with bizarre designs and with no useful information on them other than some empty slogans.  Personally, I wish we had the technology to detect...if an individual is swayed to vote for a particular candidate or cause by the presence of a billboard or yard sign -- they should have their voter registration permanently revoked...they are obviously too stupid to be allowed to participate in something as important as a democracy.
