Defaced billboard in my neighborhood
sorry not one of Dubya, but I came across this today and thought it was ironic because it was "Black Friday" in the US (I'm in the UK now) and this was the first time I've seen this graffiti...the text on the billboard, which you can't see due to the glare says "Who really does a 'spot' of shopping anyway?"



So yeah, this graffiti pretty much sums up my feelings towards "Black Friday"

1. Cool! I like that!
Someday we'll see some billboards with the proper adjustments here in the US.

5. Thank you, Ian! You made my
day! I like that Gainesville, Florida one..




..and the theater in Oakland..I was wondering about what they were thinking the other day..having read their marquees BEFORE the election!

I just didn't think to go on that site..but I'm going to mark this and make frequent stops in order to hang on to my sanity.:P

4. Cool! More flamebait for DU's "holier-than-thou" contingent.
You all know who you are. C'mon people, call the anonymous spray-painter "juvenile," and berate the DUer who snapped and posted the photo. You know you want to! After all, life's not worth living without a good dose of self-righteous superiority at the expense of somebody with a spine! Is there?

Needless to say, I think the graffiti artist did a kick-ass job on that billboard! :kick:

8. Grafitti rocks
Who really is a victim of grafitti? Let's see...people have to get paid to repaint over it, or repost over it...it attracts more eyes to the original billboard...someone had to pay for spray-paint so the paint company is making double-bank...

Grafitti is the best illegal sort of protesting. There's no victim!

Funny stuff.
