read yesterday that Gallardón, Mayor of Madrid, had filed a new legislation which will shortly be going to pursue the practice of ad men (as well as distributing pamphlets or other neon signs). The reason given is that they practice "degrading." The phrase in the ordinance is, I think "banning the use of people as an advertising medium." If it seems to also have to prohibit the equipments of the football players, including that of Real Madrid, who also advertise something as uplifting as a bookmaker.
Perhaps this is relevant to recent decision of the authorities of Westminster Council in London to ban sandwich boards, as they call it there. In this city, this custom has always been widespread. It already spoken on this blog a couple of years ( link), but it is worth rescuing this link suggested at the time: a report in the Guardian on announced men London's West End.
