PSP Graffiti Backlash

The streetwork commissioned by Sony for PSP has some graffiti kids outraged, prompting them to cover the works with stickers saying "say no to corporate vandalism" and in San Frans to add "Advertising directed at your counter-culture," "Get out of my city," and changing Sony to "Fony," reports Wired. As we all know, legitimate street art only contains high-contrast pictures of George Bush coupled with shocking non-sequitors.

Thanks for the links. I did not intend to slander honest vandals, only to mock detractors who would narrowly define the propriety of graffiti, graffiti being an act of, by definition, impropriety.

"legitimate street art only contains high-contrast pictures of George Bush coupled with shocking non-sequitors." funny, yes.

you condone the use of fake graffitti for advertising purposes. this is not unreasonable.

but you also seem to slander the honest vandalism oriented individuals.

in hopes to offer more context for this blog entry, here are some supplimentary links.
