The Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) Chief executive Officer Ezekiel Mutua has ordered “Sh#t Happen! “controversial billboard to be pulled down immediately. In his argument, he termed these billboards as unfit for public display.
The billboard is unsuitable for public display as the language used on it is inappropriate with the language used on it for only adults, and thus not good for public exhibition.**The billboard, which has an image of a common football scene, has wrong words on it. According to Mr. Mutua, the words used on this billboard indicated a clear message of sensualization.
After visiting the site where the billboard is, a KFCB official gave GA Insurance, which is responsible for this billboard, 24hours to pull it down. The clock started counting from early today morning. He further noted that the KFCB was not consulted before putting up this billboard.
The official said, “Were it not for the weather condition, we would have requested them to pull it down immediately.”
Not long ago, another billboard with some condom advertisement was pulled down as it had used foul language.
Mutua said, “Adverts containing obscene images or language should not be erected in public places.”
