So…. A dick graffiti is so much worse than a damaging pothole that gets the government ass in gear. What a bunch of prude assholes!

If an idea ist stupid, but works, it is not stupid at all.

But you just said it was stupid at first, so are you lying with your last statement or your first?

I'm imagining it being said with a wink, wink and a nudge, nudge.

Please don’t copy it? This tactic is effective, and I’ve been reading about it for years. It’s been copied plenty, and nothing that Portland “officials” say will change that.

IIRC, there were a number of weeks some years ago (pre panda?) when they were popping up along Michigan Ave in Detroit, and they had a resounding effect on repair times. Later on, it was discovered that it was just one guy on a mission. 🤷🏽♂️ Civic duty FTW. Be the change, citizens!

Considering they're competing with The Mercury and Willamette Week, yes.

Makes sense not to copy. People really need to make up their own art. I'm thinking some kind of b-hole or maybe even a fancy vajajay.
