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.
