    I would rather see graffiti than any public advertisement

      I am perfectly fine with well done graffiti; things that are actually aesthetically well done. But the taggers that just scribble a dumbass alias similar to how this was done suck and just make things look even uglier.

      This particular image is only okay with me because it is artistic with the message and the canvas itself. But if some teenager just came and scribbled “Blorbo” on it, fuck that.

        I also dislike scrawled low-effort tags. They’re an act of selfishness, making work for others to clean up. They don’t show any skill other than sneakiness of getting it done. No one wants to see that junk. They are not good.

        That said, I’d still prefer crappy tags rather than ads. I hate the ads and the manipulative power of advertising. So if there was somehow a choice between crappy tags vs high-quality ads, I’d choose the tags. (But obviously, that’s all a moot point. Higher quality art / graffiti would be better than both other options. Obviously.)

          I would argue that any “tag” is just someone advertising themself. They may not be after money, but they are after brand recognition, and that is the same problem.

          They may not have the same power as the corporations that set up billboards all throughout town, but they are still an unwanted sign intruding in our lives.

      Well it’s either that or awkwardly squishing the G. I think the overspray is the lesser of two evils

        Or just startig the sentence at the left edge and not leaving about the space you’d need for the G unused on the left

        Don’t gotta indent graffiti

        Or there’s always the slightly sloping downward G. Ideally, you’d realize sooner and compensate. But I’d prefer a careful, squished I-N-G.

      I like it. Shows the message outside of the confines of the original space. Also shows that even though it’s messier, less prepared and curated, it’s still preferred.

    Now I want to do this on an interstate or nearby highway. Just for a morning or two.
