Pathological anti-smoking



Look at the picture above. It shows a wall at Cardiff Airport where photos of various members of staff are displayed.

The wall doesn't look like that any more. Thanks to one monomaniac, the photo of the lady who works in the shop has been removed. Why? Let's hear it from the horse's mouth...



That's right, a photo of a shopkeeper is now an "advert for the tobacco industry". ASH Wales were straight on the case...





One wonders what kind of sheltered life someone has to lead for them to be "genuinely shocked" by a picture of a woman behind a till in what looks like millions of other normal corner shops. Are these people for real?

Incredibly, ASH Wales not only pursued this unhinged complaint, but Cardiff Airport complied...



There are no words. I don't what is more depressing—that someone would find this image "genuinely shocking" or that the airport officials didn't laugh in ASH Wales' faces when they made their vexatious complaint. Truly, the lunatics have taken over the asylum. #Victory indeed.

Perhaps they should take a course of instruction in the proper use of the English language?
