A simple, effective and somewhat evil counterplot to outdoor flyers. I can see Carl Cox, Faithless and David Guetta's names in the flyer in the picture. (Sorry for the crap formatting, I don't know how to fix it.)

GLASGOW'S clean-up squads are tackling illegal bill posters with a little creative vandalism of their own.
Council staff have started painting out illegal adverts which make the city look run down, to ensure the companies who produce the ads are just wasting their money.
