Pole dancer causes stir

Visitors to Gatwick Airport are being greeted by a naked pole dancer - but not everyone is happy about it.

The giant silhouette of a naked pole dancer painted on a field beneath the airport's flight path could land the marketing company behind it with thousands of pounds' worth of fines, reports the Daily Mail.

The 100,000 sq ft ad for a risque website, designed by London-based marketing agency Sports Media Gaming (SMG), was painted on a field in Surrey last week.

Although nearly invisible from the ground, the advert can clearly be seen by thousands of airline passengers flying out of Gatwick each day, which Tandridge Council says is illegal.

A spokeswoman for the council said it was painted on the field without proper planning permission and legal action would be taken if it is not removed.

SMG is refusing to get rid of it, claiming it can be seen only from the air and so is not subject to council planning regulations.

If found guilty the firm faces a fine of up to £2,500 plus an extra £250 for each day the advert remains in place.

Steven Johnson, commercial director of Flightpath Media, a subsidiary of SMG, said: "We are operating quite within our rights. We produce adverts that are only visible by people in the air. If the council own the rights to the airspace then we would be happy to hear from them."

Mr Johnson said SMG was intending to produce similar paintings over the next few days on fields beneath flight paths out of Manchester, Leeds and Stansted airports.

But Paul Miner, of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, said: "It sets such a nasty precedent, using our landscapes just for advertisement."

That is completely and totally awesome.

Very smart advertising for rotten teeth, tea drinking limeys. :2 cents:

yeah because everybody that flies into the UK is British *rolls eyes*

class

wonder what they will paint at leeds (as i live there)

that's artwork :-)

Actually..I am flying out of Manchester next week..so if 'next few days' is by then I will have to keep my eyes out.

But the company that did the advertising is British based and the field is in Britain, am I correct? What the fuck do you not understand about my statement. I never said anything about people flying into the UK not being British. :1orglaugh

This place makes me laugh over and over and over and over again. Common sense and reading comprehension skills are at a bare minimum around here (and apparently MaxCash as well) :1orglaugh

t-5 minutes til someone chops a ufo into the pic and claims aliens did it:2 cents:

that's great :-)

Ah, well tone of voice is lost so often online..so fair enough. Though, I am never sure why people have to through in nationality based insults when there is no need for it. I never drink tea but I might just go do it now.

damn it that's genius. i'm wondering about the argument of the ad being visible in air only though...

nice PROMOTION!!!! hahhaha...

what kind of permits do you need to spray paint on private land?

they have no case. haha

:thumbsup:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
