"Cold sores are not a symptom of an std" ? Really "Mr. Clean", That's funny I thought they were . By the way I think the word you were looking for is spelled "S-O-R-E" dude . I wouldn't kiss a chick with a sore on her lips anyway ! That's just nasty .

I don't give a shit what color you are...you are fair game. A well-placed Sharpie rendering of a floppy penis on your coat can make my otherwise dull commute hilarious. Just because you paid for it doesn't mean I should have to be subjected to your crappy wardrobe. Whether the art is "uppity" or not, defacing you is fine with me.

if you can deface ads why can't a graffiti writer deface an ugly gate on a city street?? because ads are all capitalist and fascist and stuff right? why are you getting your frilly pink panties in a bunch fishtale? was I whining about graffiti writers? I just think so many of the subway ads are way more aesthetically offensive than a silly gate. Did I ask to be bombarded with them? Nope. and what makes you think only white people get cold sores?

where are the hundreds of comments about how this isn't art and is just vandalism? oh, i guess it doesn't count cause it's uppity white people doing it for an "intellectual" cause I don't give a shit what color you are...advertisements are fair game. A well-placed Sharpie rendering of a floppy penis or whiting out eye pupils on a subway poster can make your otherwise dull commute hilarious. Just because someone paid for it doesn't mean I should have to be subjected to giant posters of the bland Fox 5 morning crew, or multiple panels of the Bud light douchebags. Whether the art is "uppity" or not, defacing ads is fine with me.

Hey nearly 1/2 the city's got herpes already, they just don't admit it. I think it's funny: not the herpes, but the graffitti. Herpes kind of sucks.

Puppet stickers? That's weird. A friend of mine happened upon this website: www.puppetpuppeteer.com with this voting game thing on it. It's actually really addictive, and great for when you're bored at work! :) But I wonder what the deal is with puppets? Maybe puppets are The New Black? Heh.

speaking of subway defacement, has anyone seen these puppet stickers around? i've seen them in a few places, but can't figure out what it's about.
