Graffiti: What do you think of it?
So what do you think? I must say when I was young I hated that no matter how much it was cleaned the side of the house across mine was always painted with simple grafitti, just the nick of the person that held the can. Now where I live (Germany) I don't remember having seen it really often. What do you think? Ever painted grafitti or got your walls full of it?

 Designer Marc Ecko is backing a graffiti case against New York City |
In New York this week, seven young artists - backed by fashion designer Marc Ecko - filed a law suit against New York City over its strict anti-graffiti law.
The law, which took effect this year, bans people under 21 from possessing spray paint or broad-tipped markers.
The artists say the law violates their constitutional right to free speech.
