A group of artists calling themselves Brandalism have been posting their work over dozens of existing billboards in protest at the amount of advertising around the Olympic Games in London.
Shift//Delete, 'warning', Install in Leeds.
The protest group said that the strict enforcement of branding regulations for the 2012 Olympics had been a strong part of provoking their reaction and have promised more action.
One of the groups taking part is the Melbourne-based street artist and illustrator Ghost Patrol:

The Brandalism project saw 25 artists from 8 countries coming together for the biggest subvertising campaign in UK history. Over five days a team of guerilla installers travelled to Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol and London and put up artworks that seeks to confront the ad industry and take back our visual landscapes.
