RE: [UC] UC Review Graffiti Contest - manipulative PR?

2007-05-25 Thread Kyle Cassidy
Whitey is obviously Whitey The Chairman of the Board Ford one of the
greatest pitchers in baseball history. He allowed an average of only
10.94 base runners per nine innngs and posted 45 career shutouts.
Apparantly this title is contested.



I'm also a bit puzzled though as to why the UC review would glorify
taggers with some page 1 exposure There must be better uses for that
space on the front page.

Who is whiley, and why did you do this?
 
Photos of comely Curio actresses dressed in sacks is probably more
appropriate for page one, just below the fold, of the UC Review.
 
And, why no complaints about the UCD removing for free graffitti, when a
subsidiary of the Partnership CDC did the same work for a fee?
 
Apparently, even the UC Bourgeoisie doesn't want to give up its
entitlements and stoops to creating the perception of need by
manipulating the local media.
 
More artists. Fewer vandals.

I'd rather see graffiti than 90% of the murals in the city. At least  
there's no sappy message involved.

Shouldn¹t this pump up the volume, so to speak?

I have lived through the original ubiquitous graffiti person in
Philadelphia: ³Bobby Beck² .  Later it was  ³Cool Earl²,  Chewy² and
³Cornbread.²

It escalated from there. I do not wish to revisit those days.

I make it a habit to wipe out tags as soon as they appear whenever I can.

What you say above makes absolutely no sense at all to me, so I got the
latest copy of the UC Rag from the bottom of the parrot's cage, wiped it
off, and read the feature. The feature, of course, says exactly what you say
it says. Best tag of the week will be rewarded with a front page photo. It
also asks the readers to send in locations. No doubt the local artists
will be breathlessly awaiting each week's issue, vying with each other to
see who gets the coveted prize. Personally, I think if they offered a
monetary award, say a Benjamin, or even a pizza, it would be a better
incentive.
