Press Button, Receive Bacon

When you write a blog for so long, you start to feel pretty good about the power of the written word. There are plenty of times however, when it is necessary to present some information visually, in order to ensure that the message is properly conveyed. So, when searching for an an accompanying image for a post, one might find oneself tampering with the original picture so that it will better suit the given context. Nothing too egregious there.
It’s somewhat puzzling then to come across physical instances of public vandalism, geared toward altering the intended meaning of a message (albeit to great comic effect). The examples of vandalism on Cool Stuff4u appear benign, and equal to the”criminal” level of the Photoshop tweaks you might find on Worth1000. It’s not really so different…is it?
Urban city counsel commissions committed to eradicating vandalism ought to consider giving convicted vandals their own blogs, a far less criminal canvas on which to inflict their interpretations of reality.
