Seven Arrested For 'Penis' Posters

[mercurial]

Seven people have been arrested in the past few months for putting up "penis enlargement" posters in the Johannesburg CBD, metro police said on Wednesday.

"They were charged in court, and three of the suspects were deported to Zimbabwe and one was deported to the DRC [Democratic Republic of Congo]," Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said.

The charges relate to contravention of municipal by-laws.

"Four more suspects were tracked and traced since November last year and have been fined R1000 per poster, which amounts to between R10,000 and R20,000 per individual."

Minnaar said if the fines were not paid, warrants of arrest would be issued.

"It is embarrassing to see such posters in public places. The war against illegal posters will continue," he said.

It's the size of the dog in the fight but rather the size of the fight in the dog.

People in Cape Town must already be well-endowed.

What do you consider "well-endowed"?

I've got no qualms about mine but the term 'big' among Caucasians still baffles me.

I'm so tired of these too. I mean seriously, how difficult is it catch these idiots. I mean the number is on the damn poster. Phone it, arrange a meeting, arrest on the spot. How difficult is that?

As much as I despise these guys, what exactly are you going to charge them with?

Vandalism?

Vandalism?

The guys sticking them up are being taking to task for that. They're not necessarily the guys on the end of the line though...

Oh sorry, thought you meant them. Good question. Isn't selling fake medicine illegal? Like fraud or something? I'm guessing they'll call it herbal remedies, akin to vitamins or something.

Is this about them not having permission to put up the posters OR is it about what is advertised on the posters

 

[daveza]

Putting up posters on poles.

What used to be called bill sticking.
