Bunny graffiti! This bunny just appeared (within the last few days, I mean) on the side of a store near my house. You don't see a heck of a lot of graffiti in my 'hood, and I doubt he will last long. That's okay, though; he looks a little horrified by the world.
Am I over the top in that I completely and totally hate graffiti and really think the "artists" should be tossed in jail or, at minimum, made to clean up their mess in public so the locals can yell at them?

I don't know, the bunny's cute, but my neighborhood has such a problem with it. There's about half a dozen active "taggers" that we know about. And whenever they catch one it turns out he's some rich suburban college kid who lives nowhere near the area. Which makes the whole "its art!" thing even less legit to me, because it kind of implies "well, I wouldn't do this where I live, but in your poor city neighborhood, who would care?"

I knew of some people in Cleveland who would spraypaint "I *heart* Cleveland" all over the city. And they really did love Cleveland, but they were idiots who thought vandalizing the city they love to express their love of it made perfect sense.

I agree with you, kellydamnit. I just thought I would share it here because it's a bunny, and y'all have got a thing for bunnies. There's not a graffiti problem in my neighborhood though, and I'm sure it will be gone soon enough. If I was dealing with graffiti as an ongoing problem where I live, I might not see the cuteness of the bunny, either.

Well done stencils are both graffiti and art. Tagging, though, is just lame.

(I think this bunny falls into the "art" category, though)

Bunny got back!

I'm with cmonkey:

Bunny = art
Tagging = not art

Taggers should have their spray cans crammed sideways up their bungholes.
