LOL!!!! thats like suggesting someone use photoshop to paste themselves in a woman&#039;s bedroom and calling it sex. graffiti is completely foreign you civilians. look at Danny Howard&#039;s photo. that guy has never been cool in his life, yet hes telling us what is and what isnt cool?

		<description>I never want to play a game of public defacement.

Maybe you would do well to figure out a way to &quot;claim&quot; spots without stickers.  Perhaps you can claim a spot by taking a photo of the day&#039;s local newspaper at that spot.  In San Francisco many bus shelters these days have electronic signs that display the time and date and next bus.

Even with the fanciest &quot;biodegradable&quot; stickers you still run into the &quot;broken windows&quot; sentiment of public order: if it looks like you&#039;re tagging it feels like you&#039;re tagging and you&#039;re inviting further public defacement and making enemies.  This is NOT COOL.

		<description>@Johannes - I don&#039;t really understand why you resort to personal comments just because myself and other readers don&#039;t agree with the sentiments in your post. 

Why are you make some kind of assumption that we are &quot;soveryveryveryliberal.&quot;  In the US, many of the backers of Clean Cities type groups are extremely conservative. Other are more liberal. I don&#039;t think litter, graffiti, and ugliest stick to political ideologies. 

Maybe you mean liberal in some other sense. I don&#039;t know.

You didn&#039;t cause trouble by posting. You created dissent by glorifying something that is really fucking stupid.</description>

		<description>We (urbantakeover) plan to use stickers that are not that bad for the environment: paper ones that peel of easily and just decompose with water -

About the photo shopped-sticker-images: If you really find the time to shoot pictures of a spot and figure out how to paste in a sticker that looks legit I am sure all the work is worth the points :)

We are still an early start-up and have to tweak our game modes and stickers - help us to become the game you would like to play!

Thanks!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve never felt the urge to comment on posts, but it&#039;s necessary this time.

This is a terrible idea! Hasn&#039;t anybody ridden MUNI and seen graffiti tags posted on doors and seats? These have to be scrapped off with a razor blade and leave sticky, dirty residue behind. And somebody thought this was a great idea for the Golden Gate Bridge? Since when has tagging a national landmark been cool or creative?

I think you should retract this post. There have been a thousand creative ideas and worthy gatherings posted about here that benefit our community. This isn&#039;t one of them.</description>

		<description>How can you support and publicize this? This is horrendous. How about a game that makes some claim a spot by scrapping gum wads off the sidewalk instead of plastering ugly stickers all around.</description>

		<description>You can avoid the messy graffiti by using photoshop to claim real world spots with virtual stickers. I can see the urbantakeover website quickly devolving into chaos.</description>
