What we need for young people who are restless that do superficial art like this is the start of the military draft,nothing like fear of spending 2 years working in the Army for your senses to get sharper. Years ago a guy made photos and cut outs of roaches and pasted them in the MOMA and other institutions that was reallykind of clever and pre digital art. Well more fun than dying in Viet-Nam.

They're filming @ Capitale right now (for the 2nd day in a row). Blech.

"I feel like the MTA, the City, and the private property owners won't rest until every square inch of our town is covered in American Apparel porn." i certainly hope not!

God bless the defacers of public advertising. Maybe if there were kiosks/lamposts where people were legally allowed to post things without getting a massive fine there would be less ad-defacement, graffiti, etc... I feel like the MTA, the City, and the private property owners won't rest until every square inch of our town is covered in American Apparel porn.

And hopefully there will be a TV series called Shirts for those of us who always were.

I doubt Gossip Girl's ad campaign was released "earlier this week," as AMNY covered it two weeks ago.

^ Now that you mention it. To see all the entries for a particular day in the archives page you have to change the font on the browser to be really small to see every entry posted on a particular day.

Haw Haw. In other reflections - is it only my screen or does Gothamist need to work on the HTML so that the pictures aren't cropped about 1/3 on the right side when they are first posted (before they are miniaturized in the archives). Let's go.
