  And this is why graffiti is not bad. If companies get to alter public spaces with their ads to make money, then people should be able to alter public spaces for artistic reasons.

    even if it’s not for artistic reasons… put up graffiti to cover the company garbage. if rather look as pickled sphincters on a wall, then some bullshit lies from some corrupt corporation whose CEO should be jailed for life

      Whale dongs seem particularly appropriate at this particular juncture.

  Think of the poor corporations, there are so few places to advertise on!

  I mean in a downtown core, where else do you advertise? Billboards? Other walls? Street signs? Busses? Storefronts? Paint on the street itself?

  What they’re supposed to be content with just those few thousand options?

  What a sad dystopian thing, to decide that a mural that’s brought joy is somehow less important than your temporary ad, and worse than that, that there were so many other places it could have gone.

  If you’d like to contact the North Texas FIFA Organizing Committee and tell them how much they and FIFA suck, their contact info is available publicly here:

  Also, when your committee looks like the Crypt Keeper’s family reunion, maybe don’t post profile pics.
