devil's in the details. and metros.
Don't know who does this, but every time they put up a new advertisement someone writes "666" on all of the faces. Oh Clarendon.... So evil.

They do it in Courthouse as well. In the New Testament Book of Revelation when 666, the 'Mark of (or Number of) the Beast' is mentioned, it says that those who do not bear the Mark on the hand or forehead will be unable to sell or buy. My operating hypothesis has been that this graffiti might be some sort of commentary likening consumerism to a Biblical notion of evil.
ReplyDeleteThat is a brilliant hypothesis. Mine was much more crude: you could summarize it as "darn teenagers."
ReplyDeleteI see it in the Court House metro all the time! Someone is dedicated.
