| Stinky McScruff User Info... | You know, I think people that scribble something illegible with marker or what have you, need to realize that it isn't cool. That wasn't even cool at the peak of graffitti art's popularity. I ask you, what is the good of making something look like crap for no reason? I encourage you to spend your time doing something productive, like picking up a piece of garbage or something. We are fortunate to even HAVE the things you are vandalizing, show some respect. Unless of course you are making a point and the point is demonstrated in what you are doing ie; anti McDonalds/IMF/WTO etc, don't vandalize. Nobody comes up to a scribble and says, 'woah, look at that!! that, is so cool. I bet so and so did that one' and the only thing you are getting away with is being a complete idiot. Congratulations, well done. - Sun, 28 Mar 2004 8:56am | ||
| D�d[]Sanger User Info... | Something tells me taggers dont go on to a board for musicians but, agreed... Except for the part of "unless you're making a point" Fuck their point, if its not sprayed onto a rundown peice of shit noone will look at, noone wants to see their sorry excuse for bitching smeared all over public property. - Sun, 28 Mar 2004 12:50pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | actually i like the tagging...i'd prefer straight up grafitti, but whatever. - Sun, 28 Mar 2004 12:52pm | ||

| Masturbating The War God User Info... | Fuck their point, if its not sprayed onto a rundown peice of shit noone will look at, noone wants to see their sorry excuse for bitching smeared all over public property.

| ScottL User Info... | Tagging is pretty neat. A buddy of mine was a pretty intence tagger, but to avoid vandalism he would staple/tape cardboard over something and tag it. No one was bothered, if they didn't like it, they just took it down! At a few spots people took the art, and asked for more. So no one was hurt. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. - Sun, 28 Mar 2004 7:47pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | There are some places designed esp for 'taggers' but that seems to be more of a big city thing. Though in Esquimalt they've got a bunch of murals/tags set up near the rails...can't remember any details... - Sun, 28 Mar 2004 8:05pm | ||
| Jar Jar User Info... | Tagging is fucking great, with all the disgusting ads and billboards fucking my eyes everywhere i go, it's a nice change of pace to see some illegible shit written by the working class. I hardly think messy tags are worse than corprate ads. It's sad that this is even a thread, i can think of a million more annoying things than graffiti. - Sun, 28 Mar 2004 9:43pm | ||
| J User Info... | sweet.. desyphering names written in felt looking worse than chicken sratch, sounds like a jolly good time... if i was still 15 years old... otherwise i think its pretty fuckin' weak form of art. If you can use the term "art" loosely enough. Graph. is pretty good shit tho', the work that goes into a serious project/mural could be considered art. But as it stands for me, tagging names is simply un-civilized - Mon, 29 Mar 2004 10:25am | ||
| Mordock.the.Benzite User Info... | There is a definate difference between shitty ego tags (where you just write your poorly done tagging handle on as many things as you can) and real graffiti. Regardless, I would rather see either of them than some insultingly stupid cell phone ad or any garbage like that. - Mon, 29 Mar 2004 10:40am | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | I'm all for them having an area to express themselves, somewhere set up just for that. Real graffiti is well done, of course you can't read it half the time, unless you're actually into that. Well all be damned, it's got something in common with Black metal! - Mon, 29 Mar 2004 12:11pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | "Tagging" is vandalism just as that Hungarian-born artist's dumping paint on a Picasso was vandalism (he called it "art" and obviously the Canada council agreed with him; they gave him $15000 to further pursue his "art") If you think tagging looks cool you should go to Prague where tagging has totally defaced one of the world's oldest and most beautiful cities. The shit is everywhere. The good burghers of Prague have had the good sense to make the taggers clean up their mess whenever they catch them and believe me it's HARD work. - Mon, 29 Mar 2004 2:12pm | ||
| Robnoxious User Info... | "a nice change of pace to see some illegible shit written by the working class" Don't lump taggers in with the working class people cos they ain't !!! - Mon, 29 Mar 2004 5:08pm | ||

| D�d[]Sanger User Info... | Hey now, are you trying to say that the Bruce Campbell thread idin't important????? TO YOUR DEATH I SAY!!! - Mon, 29 Mar 2004 8:29pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | More grafitti. Less tags. - Tue, 30 Mar 2004 8:32am | ||
| The One After Two User Info... | People who tag shit aren't artists, their pocket hommies... I could care less about tagging a Starbucks or McDonalds (they pay the working class to clean it up), I hate seeing someone's garage door or fence tagged b/c some working class prolitariate has to spend his legislated day of rest to clean it up. - Tue, 30 Mar 2004 7:19pm | ||
| [+} User Info... | say yes to bubs. toys are so out of the loop anyways. ps. someone needs to start writing "METALHEAD" and throwing up vicious bombs on the tracks. - Tue, 30 Mar 2004 8:55pm | ||
