Coming off the tube this morning, going up the escalator, I saw an advert on the wall. I'm not sure what it was for, but it showed a long pair of sleek female legs and that was it.

Someone had improved the ad immeasurably by adhering a fairly large bright red sticker to the poster with the words "sexist shit" in capitals on it

I left the tube like this [grin

Much as the idea appeals, the professional implications of having an ASBO would be dire sadly.

It is, but if you got caught and they decided to make an example of you you might end up with, I dunno, an ASBO or something!

oh yeah, I thought it was conscientious objecting

sethstarkaddersmum · 14/07/2010 17:53

cos sticking stickers over adverts on the tube or elsewhere could quite possibly be counted as criminal damage.

Why would it need to be deleted?

I was horrified by the posters in the tube stations, by the escalators telling me I needed to get botox for my wrinkles, laser for me leg hair and plastic surgery for my boobs! On ONE escalator!

I wondered if one could print them on one's computer

any ideas for slogans gratefully received.

I think something that generally just advertises feminism would be good; also something one could stick on plastic surgery ads.
The adverts inside the doors in women's toilets would be prime stickering territory - what sort of ads do they tend to be?

(wonders whether thread will need to be deleted soon.)

OMG I need a collection of these stickers.

HerBeatitude · 14/07/2010 16:51

Where can one procure such stickers?

ROFL @ going on sticker rampage after feminist conference

It is pretty good isn't it. I should google it later when I'm not at work, might find out whose sticker it was!

Good on that person, we have aposter that sounds like that one in a Bus Shelter near me and someone (not me) has drawn leg hair and saggy bollocks to the picture.... and they say folk down South are classy?!

sethstarkaddersmum · 14/07/2010 13:02

wasn't me either. Have been thinking about stickers though.
I have added to pro-mooncup graffiti but never stickered....

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 14/07/2010 12:29

It wasn't me, although when living in london I did used to walk around with a red marker in my pocket, for this very purpose. Wish I was back there! With stickers! maybe if we meet up at the feminism conference we could have stickers, and go on a rampage?

booyhoo · 14/07/2010 12:28

haha, i wish it was me but no. that is very funny.

blackcurrants · 14/07/2010 12:24

it wasn't me - but that's FAB! That would have cheered up my day no end.

Chaotica · 14/07/2010 12:23

Good work. (Wasn't me...)
