    i don't think you guys realize that one of these "pointless graffiti's" is actually a Banksy..... :)

    Lots of funny stuff here.

    How about taking down the one that uses "Gay" as a pejorative term, though? (Heroin is like totally gay). You wouldn't say Heroin is totally heterosexual. Thanks!

    I am pretty sure the man in "Big Thought" has a pretty awesome 'stache.

    The integral of cos(2x) is actually (sin(2x)/2), bitch.

    Bah, you got the "Make tea not love" one from Monty Python! Couldn't find that one out in the wild?

    ....my its a shame that our soldiers have to die for our freedoms and these comments are what you have all taken time to fight over. WOW

  • J Marie | 08/30/2011 flag  |

    Yay Kayla for recognizing Demetri Martin! As soon as I saw the title of Pointless Graffiti I immediately thought of "Toy Story 2 was OK!" I love that someone actually made it into real graffiti :)

  • steve | 08/22/2011 flag  |

    bigfella, you seem like a moron, plain and simple.

  • LolA | 08/22/2011 flag  |

    Some of these are pretty brilliant.

  • Ville | 07/17/2011 flag  |

    Plural for areola is 'areolae'.

  • Kayla | 07/15/2011 flag  |

    "I wanna make indifferent graffiti. 'Toy Story 2 was OK.' 'I like Gina as a friend, but I'm not sure about taking things further.' 'This is a bridge.'"

  • Jordan S | 06/22/2011 flag  |

    I agree with that, Captain90s.

  • Captain90s | 06/22/2011 flag  |

    Technically, I was calling myself a troll. Which really wasn't my intent at the beginning, but when dealing with someone as close-minded as bigfella, I sometimes can't help myself. Graffiti has its own place, just as every thing else does. I wouldn't condone spray-painting someone's business or home, but a blank wall on an unused building? The underside of a bridge? These areas are unused and (usually) not directly in the public eye, so therefore I see no problem with placing your spray paint there. I concur that about 80% of graffiti is useless crap (gang signs, "So-and-so was here", ect.), but usually these pieces eventually get covered up by something worthwhile.

  • Will Burns | 06/22/2011 flag  |

    Graffiti has been around since as far back as ancient times. Sometimes pointless to the observer, it is holds meaning to the society as a whole as it shows what is important to them at the time. Think of it like a barometer for society. It is an outlet for voices that believe they have no voice in public elsewhere.

  • Jordan S | 06/22/2011 flag  |

    The problem is that most graffiti is not art and is just stupid gang stuff and obscenities. While some graffiti is art, this does not give the artists free rein to just tag wherever they want. Just because something is art people have to act like not appreciating it is akin to burning books and being close-minded. Just imagine owning your own business and waking up one morning to find graffiti. Even if it is the most beautiful piece of art ever, does that mean you automatically have to like it? Not at all. And bigfella is right in that regard. What if that artwork sends a wrong message to your customers? And imagine being the poor shlub having to clean it up. Stop hiding behind this whole art thing like any sort of art or expression is so important and stop with this holier than thou attitude. I for one don't think that defacing public property is cool at all unless you get permission or do it on some place that you own. If we made it acceptable to tag public places, sooner or later parks and monuments will be full of trashy graffiti, despite having a few really nice graffitis. And calling bigfella a troll is ridiculous. You all should really grow up and stop claiming that anything related to art has to be respected.

  • Will Burns | 06/18/2011 flag  |

    "Is this shade of grey acceptable?" - This is actually much more intellectual than we give it credit for. It's meant to ask at what point the difference between black or white subjects as expressed in shades of grey becomes wrong or right as expressed in erosion of one over the other. The lines become blurred in a moral or respectable grey area which we have a hard time pinpointing when it has crossed the line. In that grey area, is that particular shade of grey acceptable to you?

    hmmm..... I find this hilarious!!! The actual pictures are quite entertaining but the comments are much funnier some people will do anything for a debate you need to get over yourselves and just laugh at the comedy of it rather than turning this into a my horse is more intellectual than yours bahahaha.......

  • Christine | 05/11/2011 flag  |

    Blah blah...why must everything be a debate online...it's just a funny couple of pics someone posted. Enjoy for a minute and move on.

    The level of intelligence one expects in our graffiti vandals (they are not artists).

    "So now you are saying laws are not to be respected? That's a wonderful way to live. Enjoy a life of no morals or respect."
    I realise this is somewhat after the fact, but I am having trouble finding any connection between the first and third sentence I quoted. Could bigfella sufer from the delusion that laws, morals and respect are one and the same thing?

  • pasq | 05/04/2011 flag  |

    "make tea not love" is a screen cap from Monty Python's "And Now for Something Completely Different".

    Thanks for the clarification... and yes I care as well, I might go cry in the shower after this post. Or spray paint my own garage.

  • mmedawar | 04/11/2011 flag  |

    I care. So hard. I just shot a graffiti artist.

  • mmedawar | 04/11/2011 flag  |

    @ceinsel Yes, please understand, the order in which panties twist are abortion, sex-ed in school, graffiti, drilling for oil, political upheaval, and then genocide. Get it right next time.

  • ceinsel | 04/11/2011 flag  |

    P.S. You obviously don't care that much if the only way you're trying to combat street art is by posting in this discussion. Unless you're an idiot and think your post will make a difference.

  • ceinsel | 04/11/2011 flag  |

    Banksy has done this already, by tagging walls as designated Graffiti areas where other artists have put up their work. In fact, the police let some taggers finish their artwork before they were asked to leave.

    I'm sorry that your moral code is shaken when someone spray paints on a wall and others have to pay for the "damages" (in some cases the owners actually leave the art up). I can only call myself naive for not understanding that graffiti carries much more gravity than the Middle East, Darfur, and street crimes where people get murdered. I apologize.

  • juantinabroad | 04/11/2011 flag  |

    Bigfella is right, graffiti does hurt at least one person, the person who is responsible for the space in question. I would miss not having graffiti though. A true good person would stick up a board or wall of his own, write on that, and invite others to write on it also. Don't make the lazy guy who writes on other peoples walls into a hero or an artist.

  • mmedawar | 04/11/2011 flag  |

    @ceinsel this argument has murdered my life!!
    @Dedestined your posting murdered my soul. Your communication loses its effectiveness when people can't understand anything you've written.

    To be fair, there is no such thing as a victimless crime. When public property is defaced with vandalism, the city pays for the clean up and the money for this comes out of the taxes paid by the residents. Art frequently pushes the boundaries of society, and the debate isn't a new one regarding graffiti. I personally think that most graffiti does not enhance its surroundings. Banksy is different in that he has taken a childish form of rebellion and turned it into something interesting, however, a crime is a crime, which is why he doesn't reveal his identity.

    My excon can beat up your honor student.

    "Who is Banksy?"

  • J'stSayin | 04/10/2011 flag  |

    Laws and morality have no business being in the same sentence. Just a while ago, and in other parts od the world, it was lawful to segregate people based on their color, for woman not to vote, to send people to the gas chambers based on their religion, to torture people based on their political views, and those are the easy to spot.

  • The Iconoclast | 04/09/2011 flag  |

    "Good" laws are for those people who lack the moral fiber to do the right thing of their own volition. Those that possess sufficient character to do the right thing regardless don't need any law to direct their actions. Conversely, moral people will follow their moral compass and disobey laws that violate morality by being discriminatory, unjust or otherwise immoral. I'll leave it up to the rest of you how graffiti fits in with all this.

    Nice one

  • sarah | 03/05/2011 flag  |

    Great post, I was temping in London last year and this reminds me of a graffiti artist we used for a commission, we needed to hire a graffiti artist for a short add video and hired the graffiti artist called “Buzzby” from http://www.graffiti-artist-agency.co.uk/ called Urban AllStars. Great bunch of graffiti artists, WOW this sounds like a add lol, opps. Ok finish of, go and hire the graffiti guys their good. Sarah xxx

    I like that Ceinsel, I like that a lot.

  • ceinsel | 02/23/2011 flag  |

    Never before have I seen someone use "z" in place of "the", but perhaps I do not care enough to read online discussions frequently.

    I'm sorry if anyone is offended by this discussion enough that it actually affects their actual life outside of the internet. Assuming they have one.

    There's a 100% chance that any kind of graffiti would not be as bad as Dedestined's word vomit prior to this comment. However I find the emoticons useful, because they convey emotions that would not be accounted for via computer. Very trendy.
