in december 2006, sao paulo's mayor passed the 'clean city' law which effectively outlaws all billboards in the city. now the law has been enforced, the issues it raises, especially for graphic designers is certainly cause for debate and discussion.

couple of good articles over on adbusters, boingboing and businessweek (by creativereview's editor). flickr set with some amazing photos documenting the change over here.

ironically enough, murdoch's excuse for a broadcaster, sky used the situation to make an advert, explaining that they love movies so much, that they're not going to interrupt theirs with ads... srsly wtf?

whadda you lot think on this, comments?
