She’d probably be happier though if the woman was going into stores and burning lads mags.
Kilmacolm Campaign against Lads Mags
Posted by charliegrrl on November 18, 2007
Margaret Forbes, from Kilmacolm in Scotland, has been leading a succesful campaign urging supermarkets and retail outlets, to stock lads mags on top shelf, and partially concealed. She has managed to encourage Morrison’s Supermarket to display lads mags on top shelf.
She has collected almost 200 signatures from Kilmacolm residents supporting her campaign and will continue by urging the Scottish Government to take action.
A lot of women, and men, have said they back me all the way and this stuff shouldn’t be displayed in front of children. I’m still going to keep fighting.

She got 200 signatures.
Big numbers.

Nearly 200 people dictating to nearly 44000 is an insane precedent. With a bit of luck, she’ll use this mighty victory as a springboard to a bolder move, she might even find out what 44000 people protesting her action feels like.
You know the funny thing?
The really funny thing?
Sticking Lads Mags on the top shelf with the porn mags only increases the liklihood of real porn instead of Trainer Porn getting sold to adolescents aged 15-18 by mistake. I know as a Kilmarnock teen I would be taking advantage of this right now.
Congratulations, Maragaret, you really thought that one through.
