The Stun Spoof Porn Paper
Please print this out and use it as a cover for your tabloid, to raise awareness of the issue.
You've done such a fabulous job on that. Maybe you should think about sending it to AdBusters? I don't know if they accept submissions but it's such a great spoof.
Viewing Porn on Public Transport and Exposing Others to it is ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
It is anti-social behaviour because:
1. It exposes passengers to indecent images 2. It is inappropriate to sexually arouse oneself in public 3. It is intimidating to female passengers
Currently there are lots of campaigns and laws to protect passengers from the anti-social behaviour of other passengers:
1. Not exposing others to second-hand smoke 2. Not drinking alcohol on the tube 3. Not putting your feet on seats 4. Not eating smelly food 5. Not playing your music loud 6. Not sitting in your seat if someone needs it more than you 7. Not getting on the carriage before everyone else has got off
However, there is one anti-social behaviour missing from this list that affects passengers daily: The viewing of pornography on public transport and exposing other passengers to pornographic images.
This blog aims to pursuade the Mayor and TFL that, firstly, viewing pornography on public transport is a form of anti-social behaviour and secondly, that they need to encourage passengers to be aware of and responsible about the images they expose other passengers to.

Only by confronting individuals on public transport when they are viewing pornographic images can we give out the message that it is NOT acceptable and should NOT be normal.
Please don't be afraid. I have found that men will usually get a bit flustered when confronted, combined with a genuine sense of shock that they are being held to account for something that even they are surprised to have been able to get away with for so long.
Usually confronting passengers gets approval from the rest of the passengers who also feel uncomfortable about it - including other men. After all, the objectification of women doesn't reflect very well on them either.
If men think that women's bodies were put on this planet for their entertainment, which by being permitted to openly view images of sexualised and objectified women on public transport without censure seems to imply, then where does it end? Sex-assault? Rape? Battery? Murder?
By raising consciousness about the small, mundane things shifts in thinking can occur!
