They were funny and probably made people smile - but the council took them down.

Very good! Beats a sit-down demonstration!

[Mamyalynne]

Comical.

[agchristie]

Some folk cannot be placque-ated ;)

[Baldric]

They were funny, no offence intended but I'll bet some was taken by the
'Want to be offended on behalf of others' brigade!

82% of people who clicked on the embedded survey agreed that 'They were funny and should have stayed up'.

I personally like the dedication to the men who have lost their will to live following their partners around shoe shops.

I could not agree more.

I liked this one too. Funny how the ' councils of this world can be decisive, and act quickly, particularly when they feel challenged by any attempt to highlight their cant.

They made me smile, pity they couldn't leave them.

[viv41]

Funny.

[ludwig]

I like them.

While I agree that they are amusing I can see the Council's point. If they left them more would be encouraged, and these might not be so funny, but more offensive. The Council is then left with the problem of judging which is which, and they end up as censors. And we know where that leads. So the only realistic option is to disallow the lot. The council have been put in a lose-lose situation.
