Graffiti artists with a social comment on a London tube poster 2008

Adverts for cosmetic surgery on the London underground are being deliberately defaced by protesters who see the ads as offensive and sexist.  The Facebook group which calls itself Somewhat strident but who cares has a link to a website www.somewhatstrident.com from which slogans can be printed. One member apparently uploaded a shot of a poster at a London station, featuring a different model, with the words 'Everyone is beautiful already' scrawled on it in red.
