Please Excuse Me...

Everybody Up!

Here I am again...Trespassing. What, you may ask, am I committing such a crime upon? Your mind.

"They say graffiti frightens people and is symbolic of the decline in society, but graffiti is only dangerous in the minds of three types of people: Politicians, Advertising Executives, and Graffiti Writers."

Too true...Politicians expect their ratings to improve when the speak of smashing the vandals that roam their countries, counties and cities. Advertising Executives dislike graffiti because it often covers up the product that they worked oh so hard to produce and get known. And graffiti writers...Well, I don't think I need to say much about that. But really, what is the difference between graffiti and advertising? Aside from the amount of money that gets put into them...almost nothing. So then why is it that Wal-Mart throws a fit when someone puts a few letters on the side of their building without their permission, but they jump at the chance to put up a new billboard or TV Commercial? Their advertisements allow them to get noticed. My advertisements allow me to get noticed.

Personally. Graffiti is a way for me to strike back at the massive amounts of advertisement that is shoved my way every day. Thousands of advertisements are plastered on the sides of buses...So then why is it that I'm not allowed to paint my name on the side of a freight train? They never asked my permission, so don't even bother starting to ask theirs. I never had a say in where their ads were placed...so I'm not going to give anyone a say in where I place mine.
