Tosser Poster Is Rubbished In Stockport

by | 15th, November 2010

THE ‘Tosser’ poster telling locals to toss their rubbish in the bins of Brinnington is offensive, sexually perverse and a great way to get a campaign into the media.

The Manchester Evening News reports on much gnashing of teeth:

Councillor Maureen Rowles, who lives in Brinnington, said she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw it. She said: “I don’t think it’s appropriate. Some people may see it as funny. We all know what it means – to be putting that out from the council, in my opinion, is a bit below the belt.”

Adding:

“There’s other ways of doing it. I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

What you, as a councillor, never saw the “Don’t Be A Tosser” pint glasses handed out to Australian smokers stood outside pubs?
You never saw the 2003 ‘Keep Britain Tidy’ campaign spearheaded by pneumatic actress Jennifer Ellison?
As reader June says:
yes, but she remembered it enough to complain and publicise it, didn’t she? therefore hasn’t it worked by definition…? ..and did she seriously say it was below the belt…? magic!
