NICE GRAFFITTI SPOTTED IN BART STATION

All (and I mean all) of the advertising space in the Montgomery Street BART station is currently displaying (lame) ads for Microsoft's Pocket PC products, including about 8'x10' swath of the floor at the landing of the staircase on the platform. The text of the ad read: "Your stuff, now available at every step."

Luckily, it has been defaced by an enterprising comuter with a big-ass Sharpie. The words "stuff" and "available" have been edited to say "public space" and "sold."


[Last estimates I heard: you receive 3000 commercial messages per day. You are videotaped eight times per day. Thank god for punk rock girls, for landscape painters, for witty drunks, for sharpies with a conscience. -PWP]
