UK Pole Dancing Art

Welcome to the UK. Airline passengers coming along the flight path to Gatwick Airport can see an example of Brit. contemporary art at its best. This design by London-based marketing agency Sports Media Gaming (SMG) was recently painted on a field in Surrey and occupies 100,000 square feet. The killjoys of Tandridge Council say it's illegal. SMG says it isn't, because it can be seen only from the air and therefore isn't subject to council planning regulations. If found guilty, SMG faces a piddling maximum fine of £2,500 plus an extra £250 for each day the advert remains. So why worry? It has already generated thousands of pounds in advertising revenue. Loony Brit. justice again.
