Quote:Takedowntheads is a campaign group formed to resist the steady influx of digital advertising screens into our local landscapes. We started in response to Rosslyn Park Rugby Club’s installation of three huge screens in South West London, and have come to realise that there is a much wider problem.

A little digging shows that the lady in question is actually relatively young (I'd guess she's in her 30s by the photo of her on LinkedIn)

A little more digging shows she's 61.

Apologies, I was mistaken! She is indeed older than I had understood.

Odd question.

Odd question.
Is it? Whoever is behind it is clearly a nimby moron.
Not sure age or gender is a bar to being a @#$%&.

I wouldn't say she's clearly a moron, she just has a different point of view. But I don't know why mentioning her gender or age needs to be questioned.

I don't think it makes any difference and I don't think it was being suggested that it did.

Well why not? What's the issue with him mentioning it?

This shows everything that is wrong with the power of social media and a vocal minority.
Nothing on facebook or twitter by them has been liked or shared more than a few times, and their petitions have a pathetically small number of signatures. Yet companies who are so scared of bad social media messages and offending people withdraw ads and apologise purely on the back of a minescule amount of people complaining writing angry emails and tweets.
All the while the petition to support Rosslyn Park has almost 10,000 signatures.
Madness
