Okay, so what's your opinion on graffiti, is it art or just damn annoying..
The reason I brought this up is because there has recently been quite a stir-up in sweden about the police shutting down a graffiti exhibition in a public premise in Stockholm, because of the very strict rules about not allowing graffiti anywhere in the city..
Many people has been upset about this exhibition because the people who took part in the exhibition soon went out and scrawled in the subways in Stockholm.
So what's your opinion..
And please let's keep graffiti and meaningless scribble (known as 'tags') apart ;)

I've never been to your country, Sir Regin. So I can't comment on what you've seen. I have seen some very artistic graffiti in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States. When it is for the purpose of art, then I support it. But, I guess it has to do with the eye of the beholder sometimes. All too often, it is the markings of a gang. I also think that perhaps not everyone in your country is blonde. I know for a fact that the Swedish chef on the muppets wasn't blonde.

If you ever go to L.A you might not be very tolerant of it. It sucks. Most of the graffiti out here isn't very attractive. There are some murals that the city sponsored which look pretty cool, but for the most part it's just crap.

Blond, maybe, but virgins ? How is it that there are still Swedes left ? [img]smile.gif[/img]

You don't need to comment on the specific example, it was only meant to describe some of the consequences of graffiti..
Oh and not everybody are blonde, just the virgins :D
And the chef on the muppets isn't swedish, man..you live in a dream :D :rolleyes: [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color="cyan">There are some kinds of graffiti that I really like.

I've never really had the experiance of seeing Graffitti that I don't like. It just appeals to me, looks cool.</font>

The non-virigns leave their children (if they have any) to those who are still virigns, and then we ship them off to Denmark..

I may not know how to woo the ladies like you do. I also might not have a clue how to act in public. But, I do know that his title was "Swedish Chef". I know my muppets.
