I don't think that's a very strong counterargument.
Most people probably aren't really watching these things. They either process it with their peripheral vision or glance at it for a while when they're really bored and there's nothing else to see.
Now, the image is rather ordinary and stays there only for a few seconds.
This isn't flying saucer or a plane crashing into a building. It's just a dude on a TV that displays ads.
How different is it, really, from the famous Blade Runner ad?
Also, the camera almost never films people who actually see the screens. So even if there was someone pointing finger at it, we wouldn't see it in the video.
