As we had some graffiti-features recently, here is a top 5 list of excuses for writers:

1 - It’s a political statement. Property is bullshit; no one really owns anything. Besides, it was the natives’ land first (the last part works best in North America).

2 - Just because (insert corporation’s name here) has the money to pull up all this billboards and I’m broke doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be allowed to do the same thing.

3 - It’s freedom of expression.

4 - It’s my art.

5 - It’s your building? Fuck it, who told you to build it there?
