Graffiti FTW!

Well Mousekateers I have a funny and uplifting story about how direct action and graffiti was used for the public good. I have been a graffiti artist for quite a while and I believe that it can be a powerful way to send a message. Let me tell you a story...

About a month ago a gas station that I frequent removed the condom machines from the bathroom. Knowing that the last thing we needed was to make it harder or embarrassing to get condoms I wrote in black permanent marker "WTF no condoms, well I guess I'll go and spread AIDS then". Well I went back in there tonight and there is a big poster sized advert for Durex that said something along the lines of "We're there when you need us." Score one for Graffiti
