Graffiti "surge" threatens to drown out paid advertisements

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Corporate America just needs to pay off the graffiti artists to include subtle advertising in their work.  Two birds, one stone.  Aside from that fact that it would be a hell of a lot more entertaining than a fucking billboard.

And then the city would know who to fine, generating public revenue from "illegal advertising". Everybody wins!

Or, if they corporations paid for the advertising space, they might be offered a minimal tax break for beautifying the city?

If it was legal, they would have to pay the owners of the property, rather than pay a fine to the city, so it wouldn't be public revenue. And, you have to have a permit to advertise on a private building. So we'd be back to square one.

Damn shame as I think it would have worked
