A poster by the Bristol City Council in the United Kingdom is controversial. The poster shows a child wearing something like chocolate around his mouth and on both hands. However, this poster is a warning poster to dog owners, saying, "If you leave your dog's droppings unattended, you will be fined £ 1,000." At the bottom of the poster is a dog droppings, and next to the child is a copy that says, "Children can eat anything."

"Dog owners should bring their dog droppings home, but I'd like to make another suggestion. Parents should pay more attention to their children, not just looking at their cell phones."
