Vandalism?

So some folks with vested interests attempted to lead us to believe that the Portes De Bombes vandalism and writing on billboards are somewhat similar, if not one and the same thing. Ha! Stupid fuckin parrot dropping gits.

It's oh so opportunistic. The Bombi thing and spraying on billboards have as much to do with each other as Maggie soddin' Thatchter (or Twatcher) and worker's rights. This spraying on billboards thingy isn't even vandalism. It's merely a part of the democratic process.

Did anybody ever ask to see billboards. Did anybody ever ask to have a rectangle like area invade our view? Did anybody ever ask to have political (or otherwise) slogans shoved down our throat every 100 meters or so? I don't think that they have. At least, I don't remember ever filling applications and giving approval to seeing such messages. Unlike election time, I don't remember people knocking on my door asking for my opinion on the whole thing.

So these eye-sores are put there without citizen's permission. I don't ask to see burgers the size of the Mosta dome, happy people smiling with products in their hands or messages attempting to convince me that the government is up to something. Do you?

We didn't ask to see them, yet see them we must. It's very difficult to avoid them, so it's only logical that people should be able to answer them. Now as you're aware, generally speaking, people don't afford to have their own billboards so the only way to question, counter and reject these methods is through guerilla-type strategy. Spray cans are convenient. They're easily available and effective. So if questioning what is imposed on us is vandalism we're as democratic as Stalin with PMS.

Besides, why does the government feel the need to make an event out of what is obviously their job? Why do they want to let us know through billboards that they're doing things? Isn't it like their job? Shouldn't we kind of know about these things through experiencing them? Once again, the mind boggles.
