Thanks for posting this, Lloyd.

The sense of entitlement of the COO of Clear Channel is so disgusting... 
"destruction of a business would certainly be against the law..." !! 
What a joke, and he made this statement in The Economist. Their backs 
are literally... up against a wall.

p.s. Does someone have pictures of any JCDecaux or Clear Channel 
billboards in "Bikes for Billboards" towns which have anti-environmental 
content (aside from the visual blight)? It is also not too late to send 
in examples of self-damaging ads on public transport... UITP is having a 
conference about marketing in Spain in about a month and I am going to 
see if some of the samples I have collecting will be helpful to them....
