Lena Dunham wants to remove guns from film billboards

“Hey New Yorkers, what if we do some peeling & get rid of the guns in the Jason Bourne subway ads. So tired of guns.” (archive) said producer Tami Sagher, a.k.a. Tulipbone on Instagram, and Lena Dunham shared it with the caption “Good idea @tulipbone! Let’s go!”

Now, the Jason Bourne films are about secret agents and have a lot of guns & violence in them. When Matt Damon isn’t busy making millions via that franchise he’s calling for an immediate gun ban in the United States, so I’m sure he agrees with Lena & Tami here.

Problem is, ripping the gun away from the movie promotional poster isn’t quite the same as banning guns from civilian use, in fact it’s not the same at all. And ripping down posters is plain vandalism, lets not encourage minor riots like the one that happened in Stockholm last year due to the political poster depicting a homeless person sleeping on the street.

At least we know that people still notice outdoor advertising, rejoice.
