I think people should be a bit more pacifistic when it comes to Graffiti; it's like a splash of color and surreality in an otherwise reality-bound world. But if you don't want it all over your house, that's fine. I wouldn't object to Graffiti on my house as long as our landlord approved it and as long as it was creative. The only graffiti I don't like are excessive tags and swear words (kids see that stuff, you know!)

That picture is a great example why I don't like to see excessive tags. That was a great piece of Mario until some jerks went over it. For those who care, I used graffiti terminology there, but it would be interesting to have a piece of Mario. Y'know, to find out what Mario tastes like.

Looking at it, especially since the main parts of the picture aren't covered, I'd say that the tags over it are actually part of the design.

Also, is that Jill Valentine over on the right?

All I've got in my town is Mexican gang grafitti, your usual elaborately-lettered made-up words on the sides of trains, a profanity/crude doodle or two, and that one weird kind of grafitti that's like in a gray, thin, unintelligible scrawl (anyone else know what I'm talking about here?).

The graffiti at my high school consists of "SUR" and "NORTE" (South and North, what creative gangs we have), usually written in Sharpie on locker room doors (what scenic territory to mark). Disembodied male genitalia is also a common subject. Very rarely is anything spray painted on school walls, and when it is it's just as plain as the Sharpie. No fancy design or color.

I'll add a big S in front of "Norte" if no one gangly is around. I've never had the chance to edit a "Sur," but if I do I may add "fboard" or "gery" to the end. And once I saw everyone's favorite word written on a wall in the wood shop last year, but the fool forgot the C. I turned the K into an R, and wrote a finisher to the message underneath. It then read:

FUR
Cats have it.

Am I just as bad as the original vandals? Or am I making light out of filth? You decide.

Funny is better than marked territory.

You should start a FURRY gang.

I'll leave that to DeviantART people. :3 ^^

It's better than what was there before.

Same here! (but I've just got SUR--or SUR 13, actually) You live on the West Coast?

Since no one who works at my school seems to have any inclination to clean up grafitti, I've taken to carrying around a large Pink Pearl with me to do away with it myself. There was a particularly sizable depiction of an... ahem, oral act in one locker room stall (which someone kept gradually adding to. I was always conflicted between disgust and genuine curiousity to see what new feature would be scrawled upon it) and SUR 13 grafitti in the other. It took me a few days, but they're gone and haven't come back. Also, "ho" was written in large, underlined font--plain as day--by the art room. It's not 100% gone, but I did my best. It just... feels good to help out like that. Kinda reminds me of Super Mario Sunshine, really...

In that a dark version of yourself wrote all the graffiti?

No, in that all the inhabitants of his school have palm trees growing out of their heads and give away vital life-sustaining artifacts to anyone who wins their squid races.

This year's ASB officers (left to right: secretary, president, treasurer, vice president):

The secretary's outfit looks a little revealing for an office setting. You can almost see her midriff!
