Etiquette Artist Takes On Dog Owners

jayshellsdog.jpg

Now that we're all up to speed on underground etiquette, artist Jay Shells has created a new piece aimed at dog owners. One of these just went up at 14th Street near 8th Avenue, and as you can see it comes with biodegradable bags for the taking. Animal reports that the artist is looking for suggestions on what other dog-stained neighborhoods might be in need of a visual and functional reminder guilt trip. And we're wondering what he should tackle next!

    @YouWillLearn: you are a disgusting animal.

    the east village! pleeease! perhaps the construction wall up in front of st. brigid's on av b and 7th st, east across from tompkins square park. i'll help you.

    @evilsugar: you got it. i'll have a look for a good wall over there and hit it up. gonna most likely be a different dog breed, but everything else will be the same.

    it would be cool if neighborhood people could replenish the baggies from time to time if i don't get over there frequently enough to do it myself.

  • evilsugar

    sure thing - i think folks around here would dig participating. let me know when it's up & where, and i can spread the word via a local neighborhood blog, e.v. greive

    Forget the animals. How about one for all the fine ladies and gentlemen that take shits on the street, in parks, on subways?

  • ah smoke, you been eatin some corn huh?

  • ANOMS

    There are a few neighborhoods that would benefit from this.

    Washington Heights = poo minefield

  • twentyfive25

    You got that right. Funny how you can tell what neighborhood you're in and who lives there by the amount of dog poop on the sidewalk.

    @Dr. Wonky

    Tell me a block in your hood that has a wooden construction wall up and I will come uptown and bless your neighborhood with a poster. I have to paint one so it won't be until next week. I need the wooden wall so I can screw in the baggie dispenser. Thanks for the input, you are the only person who has suggested a neighborhood for me to hit up.

    There *really* needs to be one up on the east side of Park between 117th & 118th, but I think the closest wooden construction wall to there is between 123rd & 124th.

  • ANOMS

    alright. i'll head up there to scout a spot. i promise to have one up in the next week or two.

  • Papercutninja

    Also, protip to those dog owners that have little yip-yap dogs that have diarrhea on the sidewalk? It means you need to feed it ACTUAL DOG FOOD and not from your table. That's why it can't shit solid, you morons.

  • janelle

    agreed! hope those bags are the biodegradable/compostable kind.

  • colter

    SPITTING. Seriously, it needs to stop. It's so 19th century.

  • YouWillLearn

    We're not robots, you piece of shit!

  • pumpkin13

    I've never understood why people need to just spit at random times. I have never needed to. And why do you only see men doing it? Is a some biological need that some men have???

  • colter

    What does being a robot have to do with it? Should you find yourself with an excess of spit, just swallow it like a polite human being. Sheesh. I grew up in the Ozarks with inbred Klansmen with better manners than to spit on the street.
