Graffiti spotted on a French Quarter wall:
"If you are looking for sympathy you'll find it right between shit and syphillis in the dictionary."
Does anybody besides me remember when graffiti used to be lively, irreverent, crude, crass, and carefree? "For a good time call Melanie (504) 444-4444" or "Made a poo-poo drew a choo-choo." or "Here I sit all broken hearted. Tried to shit but only farted."
Are those days over? Has the shit-disturbing youth of this country reached such profound levels of darkness and cynicism that this is what we can expect to see written on the walls in years to come? How depressing! I'm of half a mind to go out with a spray can or permanent marker and write on the same wall "Poop and fart jokes 4 life!"
I wont, because I'm an upstanding member of the community, but I've definitely got the urge to do so.
