Bandit Benches


Charlotte County in Southern Florida is having trouble with 'bandit benches'.

This is where compaies have been getting round local ordinances on billboards (like our planning laws I guess) by shoving up benches with adverts on them, with the knowledge that they are unlikely to have anyone sitting on them and hiding the adverts.

Reading it made me think about those people in England who would not get planning permission for a huge poster in their field by the motorway, but just park an old lorry in their field (which just happens to have a huge poster stuck to its side.)

Great name for a band though.

Maybe its the subconscious link with bandit BMX bikes or something, but I can see The Bandit Benches as a skate punk band.
