I don't think that Gothamists coverage of street art or sex and the city are really contradicting what is being told here. I think that street marketing and street art are totally different things. From what I have learned about street art, alot of them (Obey Giant) are mocking the fact that advertisers are becoming overzealous. Companies should stick to some of the less intrusive advertising and try to not be SOO innovative.. Just stick to the basis - like the free coffee given out in Penn Station a few weeks ago.

That's right. How many Time Warner interns would it take to get arrested to make these companies stop?

Someone wrote "FAG" across one downtown. Perhaps more editorial comments would discourage this

It would be nice if the city's graffiti task force was sent after street marketing companies who do these kinds of things -- and the companies that hire them. Fair's fair.
