I give it about a week before one of them is smashed or otherwise vandalised - or possibly nicked to act as a 'Christmas tree' in one of the city's more salubrious housing developments.

Aye - Bang On!

The link between advertising and antisocial behavious has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt.
Its the duty for of the Government to protect its people. Even if that protection from themselves.
Incidents of violence on Dumbarton Road in the West End, Maryhill Road and North Hanover have DOUBLED since the introduction of these machines Dont we deserve our loved ones and nation to be as healthy as possible?

Ive seen the ad display in this feature - it looks pretty amazing. Lets see if it can survive the Glasgow Neds, or suffer the same fate of countless digital equipped bus shelters.

The one on Maryhill Road has been running for about a month now and no vandalism.
Why are you all so negative about Glasgow and it's residents?

It clearly states in the story that the cost to the council is zero, nada, zilch, ect ect.
The one on Argyle st has been operational for about six weeks, it looks great and has suffered no vandalism. The more the better i say, we live in an information world and i think this initiative is to be applauded.
Dear o dear, me praising the coooncil, it really is the season to be jolly :-)

I think they look good. But I have seen repair men out attempting to fix the things on many occasions already. Who is footing the bill for that? They seem to be broken more than they actually work!

The unit's are paid by the advertising company, the maintenance is also done by them and costs the public and the council nowt. Advertising content pays for them basically. I think these will look better and better as people learn to use them more.

Does anyone who knows about epilepsy have any idea if my instinct here is correct?
Also what about their energy use? Not very green perchance??
