Someone in Uppsala likes going around and smashing all the adverts. They think they are making an anti-advertising statement but instead they're making life hard for underpaid workers like this one, who are predominantly immigrants might I add.
Ironically in this particular picture the man is cleaning up the glass around an election campaign advert which reads "create more jobs!!".
They've been smashing adverts since they had the bright idea 8 months ago to steal the little red thingies on the bus which break the emergency exit glass. This now means that there is often broken glass everywhere which the advertisers in their limitless funding just replace time and time again, while the buses now have no means to escape through the emergency exits in times of emergency. FUCK ME ANARCHISTS, YOU'RE SO CLEVER!
Sometimes they just write slogans over the adverts with a sharpie pen instead. Or draw moustaches.
Don't get me wrong, advertising is the devil's handiwork. But I don't think leaving a trail of smashed glass around town is going to a) stop advertisers from advertising or fixing broken adverts or b) encourage citizens over to the cause or c) help in an emergency bus situation. or d) give Mohamed here a good day.
