I have to call out Animal New York for being a little late with the criticism of commercial reverse graffiti. The post that Gothamist links to which talks about reverse graf being "co-opted" by commercial interests has a link which goes to an earlier story on Animal about reverse graf by MOOSE. The earlier post embeds a YouTube video about an advertising campaign MOOSE participated in for GreenWorks cleaning products, and neglects to mention that fact.
