The reputation of graffiti art is not what it used to be. Once viewed as a nuisance and a sign of crime and social degeneracy, more and more cities are taking a new approach by putting up welcome areas for street art, or commissioning artists who are proficient with spray paint to decorate old buildings with murals. Of course, graffiti varies heavily in terms of complexity and mass appeal, and many argue that by arbitrarily picking what kind of street art is socially acceptable and should be encouraged by the law is simply creating a sanitized version of the traditional form of expression, as even the simplest scrawls have a purpose of expressing an opinion, frustration, or simply affirmation that one exists and wants to be heard.
Most of the graffiti in this post falls into the latter category, but with one common feature: the writer put it there just to make the next person laugh, smile, or think with their funny messages.

I went into a ladies washroom once (it's okay, I'm a lady). It was in a very trendy part of Vancouver, and someone had written : "Dwayne, I LOVE you!". Underneath it, in different writing was :"Dwayne won't see this. He uses the men's room".
Gigi Phoenix 5 years ago
If I ever end up in that stall, I'm just gonna write, "Don't lie to me."
Scrawls on public bathroom walls are a bit different and fall into a category of their own, a phenomenon that has been the subject of entire academic studies. Officially called “latrinalia,” writing on bathroom walls is something that psychologists have suggested we do because of the potential to express things that may be inappropriate without being suspected, as it’s being done behind closed doors in a space where people usually keep to themselves.
Such bathroom art is almost like posting on online forums. And much like the modern anonymous comments section, the content often tends toward crude and inflammatory, but this list shows that there are some well-wishers who want to brighten their captive audience’s day with cute messages.

But sadly, now that the UK has left the EU, people will soon realize what a dream that was, to have benefits all over Britain. I am torn between feeling sorry and remembering that old piece of wisdom that says that eventually, every nation will end up with the leadership it deserves. BoJo? Farage?

"Gay" crossed out underneath. Because everyone knows living your mom is so gay.
Some people have even used the stereotypical kind of vandalism that city councils hate for material good. Last year saw an epidemic of Brits forcing their local authorities to prioritize road repairs by painting every uninventive tagger's favorite body part over the offending potholes.
In 2015, one anonymous chaotic good character became infamous for the practice in Manchester, calling himself Wanksy, and apparently the approach that he pioneered has been repeated with success elsewhere. Locals can complain about this method all they want, but they can’t say it doesn't get the job done.

I have such massive hatred towards Helch for doing this. I always drove under that bridge with a smile, and when I saw it defaced I was honestly a little bit heart broken. The arses name is appearing in places and it fuels the rage more and more due to unnecessary defacing of a well known work. HATRED

Blue Cicada 5 years ago
Reach out to grownups you can trust. Maybe just to vent. But if you need more help, or more support, there are people who can help you. If you are in school, your guidance counselor, your favorite teacher, or school nurse. If you are graduated and live in the US, your local county should have a free mental health service. If you are in a crisis, a US suicide hotline is (877) 695-6333. You can also text 741-741. Text "4help" or "hello". Finally, you can also call 1-888-SUICIDE (1-888-784-2433) or 1-877-SUICIDA (1-877-784-2432) (Spanish)

Unfortunately, not true for everyone. My son had two friends, and I had one, whose Moms very definitely did not love them. Not just didn't know how to be a good Mom, but literally did not love their kids. This kind of message will be meaningless for people who's Moms love them. It will be a sad reminder for the other sort.

To explain situation: Harper was Prime minister from 2006-2015. He lead the Conservative party in Canada, he's a right-wing christian, they believe Israel is legitimate ruler (old testament is the law of the jews (Thorah)) and all others are Goys (gentle=servants). He likes oil industries because the west province Alberta is rich in tarsands, bringing money in the pockets of the rich and wealthy (while destroying the land of the natives, who still retain their rights on this land we call America). Keystone, Trans-Energy is the same project of crapping the soil (and life) everywhere in America with Dilbit, a very toxic and pollutive oil, in pipes that leak at

I lived in a semi-detached and the side was CONSTANTLY tagged by less-than-great 'artists'. After years of scrubbing, i decided to contact my local street artists and had them commission a BEAUTIFUL piece there instead. Cost of paint: £50, Cost of seeing taggers faces when their 'blank canvas' was stripped from them: Priceless. Taggers don't tend to scrawl over a fellow community member's work. Checkmate!

When graffiti is done in commision and by an artist with talent and skills I enjoy it. It's art, it brightens up places, it makes you smile or think. Spraypainting some wall with some "witty" remark is petty and vandalism. When people doing that get caught they should be forced to remove all their graffiti themselves.
