thats terribly lame. really. i mean, i guess stencils are an art, but to me, graffiti loses its credibility when you are basically making your piece in the comfort of home and then just running out and smacking it on in seconds out in public. it take real balls to go out and actually do a piece while looking for cops and avoiding trouble.

Has he done anything?!?!

He fired a shot across the bow of the S.S. Corrupt Capitalist Elite. He gave notice that no bastion of the establishment is safe from the simmering rage of the overprivileged anarcho-situationists armed with their stolen spray paint.

You think it's a coincidence that equity markets are moving up today; now that Sub-Commander Borf is safely incarcerated? Joe Kernen called it the Borf-Bounce.

It does my heart good to see a reference to Joe Kernen on this board- it means I am not the only member of the "indie-yuppie establishment" who lurks here. Can't wait for the next property value thread.

i was about to ask who Joe Kernan was….too lazy to do a search…probably some republican asshole though.
actually he is a financial news reporter on CNBC - and probably one of the funniest men on television in my opinion
Then again I am just a renter in this fair city not landed gentry like a lot of bordies, so I need to pay attention to the market so I can hope to catch up.

HAHAHAH. It's pretty obvious to me you were never 18; or if you were, you were too busy dicking around with your high school investment club porfolios. ..as for street art, it's no less or more important that contemporary music. Is the banging I hear more minds slamming shut? Perhaps the 930 club forum is too "juvenile" for many of you these days.

BTW: Wash Post does not allow "links" to full articles. You can only "subscribe" by opening an account. Borf is the name of the taggers best friend who committed suicide two years ago. No matter who mentioned "suicide" , teen-aged suicides are sad to many of us…

while you may be right, this particular street art is the contemporary music equivalent to 50 Cent.
