Well it WAS fun until that..
After he figured out how to tag his cell they deemed him insane and put him in the padded room..
Once that white room became another color he had left them wondering how the f**k he did it..
Was the new color red or brown?
or yellow
HIRL needs more comment and picture traffic. Not enough win in my day!
brilliant moressey comment too:D
Why is Morrissey in jail for graffiti?
Well maybe there’d be more traffic if y’all were a little more hospitable to new people. I posted here one time in a friendly and jocular vein, and got attacked by a ridiculous troll. No one seemed too concerned about it. (see ‘as long as the chicken’s natural’) So I won’t be lingering.
Yet you’re still here. Don’t worry, the internet isn’t for every sensitive flower.
Do bear in mind, however, this is not a forum; it’s a website with pictures and an accompanying cluster of barely organized commentors.
Not that I’m going to, but what complaint form? Was there supposed to be a link? I’ve never seen a Cheez network form!
And Peter, you’re right. Guess I just needed to hear someone else say ‘why, this guy’s a bit of a jerk, in’ne?’ to confirm I wasn’t imagining it. You’re right of course about the sensitivity. Thnx.
No. Not ‘form’; ‘forum’. FOR-UM; as in a comment driven, internet community of registered regular users. For example, somethingawful.com.

For every picture, for every comment placed onto the creature known as the internet, there will be a troll. Become a troll to troll the newfag trolls and enjoy the lulz you create. Never take trolls seriously, when you do, it makes your fails far more funny to other trolls.
Or, just don’t feed the trolls.
Please use this complaint form and we will attend to this matter.
Whoa. HTML fail. My bad.
Please use this complaint form and we will attend to this matter.
Right on.
Seems like this sign is just asking to be tagged… I think it’s a trap!
The fact that the billboard has been modded in a naiive-homage-to-Banksy style is all killer no filler to start with, but when I spotted the Morrissey comment atop I nearly burst m’ stitches laughing. Huzzah to all involved in this monumental art win.
Missed opportunity. Some red and white paint could make this into “Graffiti, it’s Prime!”
But wait, that’s a worse joke! Oh, I get it; you’re being sarcastic.
No, I’m serious. Modifying letters is more creative than just adding a word. The message is still the same too.
Prime
adj.
1. First in excellence, quality, or value.
Therefore, graffiti is awesome.
Modifying letters certainly takes more effort, but let’s not confuse effort with creativity. For instance, I could expend a great deal of effort white-washing all of the text on that billboard, then replacing the text with “graffitti is quite possibly the best thing in the world.” This rewrite would require a great deal more effort than the featured picture, or even your suggestion. However, if I were to do this, I would not be witty or creative; rather, I would have spent a great deal of effort on a joke that is terrible.
Additionally, I could white-wash the entire billboard and then repaint it in exactly the same way; recreating every detail I had just painted away. This would require the most effort, yet not be at all creative, and not at all humorous.
In conclusion, you’re suggestion is terrible. Some may even go so far as to say that awfulness of your suggestion rivals that of your own face.
I appreciate that if you’re not a hip hopper and not into graff then it is simply a matter of how it was done and how it looks. However this piece inadvertently really does embody the original spirit of the graffiti movement, of modding one’s environment to make artistic and/or aesthetic comment and /or improvement. It’s obviously not done by a graff artist (and it’s not really a “tag” because tagging is putting up one’s name, this is probably closer to a “throw up” where the word is quickly thrown onto the wall, but the use of the word “tag” is necessary to put across the Morrissey joke), but it made us all laugh and will be greatly appreciated but old school hip hop nerd-niscenti. It also reacts with the environment and society in the same way that Seen did in the 80′s and Banksy does today.
I am wondering if the designer was a Smiths fan or just a bit depressed.
why was my comment deleted? I explained why my version is superior.
huh it reappeared
The room is spinning from all of the gayness.
You might want that looked at.
to quote the great moz ” it’s either this or prison” [18.12.2004] I guess he chose the latter
the devil will find work for idle hands to do
This picture would go equally as well (if not better) on Friends of Irony
it sure is
This showed up on Erie Blvd. in Syracuse, NY. Just sayin, I saw this IRL too…
