Too trendy? British Police getting down wit SMS

Mail & Guardian Online, South Africa, has the following piece:

British Police Rapped for ‘Trendy’ Posters. 

Avon and Somerset Police plastered baffling messages across rough estates in Bristol, south-west England, to warn young people to curb their anti-social behaviour, the Daily Mail said.

But critics reckoned the masterminds behind the campaign should have their own collars felt for coming up with gobbledegook signs more likely to command derision from out-of-control louts than new-found respect for the law.

I’m all for the Police using different communications mediums such as SMS.  I say good on them!
