Girls fined for defacing lap dancing club poster

[JessinAvalon]

I love this story and thought it deserved its own thread!

well done those girls. Establishments that sell sex shouldn't be advertised to the general public, especially where children can see it. (OK, in theory at least it's not prostitution but don't see why prostitutes' calling cards get taken out of phone boxes, while massive posters like these are allowed all over our city centres.)

Reminds me off the car ad

ROFL Flamingo! Good point!

love the car ad-busting.

And what's with the BBC calling it a 'gentleman's club'?

Well done those girls.

What an upside down messed up society we live in that deems these girls to have "broken the law" but endorses the gentlemans club. Madness.

Because Gentlemen deserve Ladies, and Ladies don't do things like that. Those girls were No Ladies.

Thank fuck :o

LOL Flamingo

Urgh, how patronizing

Is it really our job to tear down posters of women earning a wage?

She's a criminal.

welcome to Mumsnet, Sandwichslave.

Thank you.

I'm loving the idea of a fighting fund.

I think it's crazy that you can put posters up seemingly anywhere for lap-dancing clubs. I wish the government would be as strict on that sort of advertising as they are on tobacco ads.

The way that women are portrayed in such posters, i'm surprised more posters aren't vandalised - it's goading.
