    I definitely would never suggest that anyone might be able to look up the bolts normally used in these poster holders by city and/or transit company and buy a tool to help them assist their local transit workers with these displays.

    Or that there might be plenty of tools that might be used to split an image into a large print over multiple pages.

        Shock and gasp! Don’t you realize the horrible trouble someone could get into with that information? The type of trouble that someone might avoid by dressing as a generic blue collar worker? The kind of trouble that might replace advertising with art, guides to privacy, or even information on how to resist our benevolent corporate overlords?

        I tell you, I’m completely terrified of the trouble someone like you so casually sharing such information might cause!

        Someone might make friends with a local print shop and run anti-marketing campaigns against the shareholders! Won’t someone think of the shareholders?

      It appears to be a bus stop in London.

      Advertising in UK is mostly self-regulated and for it to be removed by someone else it requires that someone files a complaint.

      The word fuck is usually not allowed in public advertising, but it’s not explicitly forbidden. The context and target demography is taken into account when the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) evaluates if anyone could be offended.

        Also the group doing this isn’t paying for ad space. They’re just using it. ;)
