Illiterate Graffiti

MrJoeSoap

Just saw "Your Gay" scribbled across my local funeral homes sign. Add that to the "I rote dis yesterday" on the shutters at my local chipper and you have yourself a thread.

I actually am just remembering seeing a skateboarder kid (no more that 13 years old) writing "Cops are bent" (spelt correctly, but pointless nonetheless) on one of those weird seat-pod type things outside Central Bank. And there was the time the travellers destroyed the greens at Elm Green golf course in a protest at the entrance road to their halting site being blocked off by emblazoning in petrol (something to the effect of ) - "Open our raod"

Anyone got any good examples of spelling mistakes / general stupidity in graffiti?

On a construction site hoarding near our house was "Dave Kenna is a mijit"

Took me a while to figure out "mijit"

Hmmm...I did see 'I was hear' scrawled in the dirt on the side of a bus just yesterday.

i've seen alot of mispelled graffiti, took a picture of a similar pedestrian sign at a building site in carlow a year or two ago... coming out of the pub, I just stared at it for a few minutes until I was able to figure out why it looked so strange. I believe it was also missing an R

best graffiti I ever saw was pythagorus's(bleh) theorem written up on a wall in cork city, along with 3 or 4 other acts of scientific/mathematic vandalism.

Up around the burlington hotel, someone has sparyed the anarchy symbol and beside it (same paint) they have sprayed the peace symbol. Always gives me a chuckle.

anarchy = Absence of any form of political authority.

peace = # The absence of war or other hostilities.

I seen this one on a bus seat..

"Talla scum bags are gay".. Or something like that, but I'm pretty sure the guy who was writing it was just trying to "rip the piss" out off them. But by drawing this it made him a scumbag..

lazernuts

God, I'd be so tempted to write "My gay what?" underneath it.

And btw, it's "my local funeral home's sign".

Somebody once sprayed "mEh l33t H@xor" on a wall in De_dust. Does that count? He may have had epilepsy.

I was thinking more of this definition:

Anarchy: a state of lawlessness and disorder (usually resulting from a failure of government)

Piste

Tallaforina

Puff Daddy is Lovely

Gone West

ANARKY ROCKS!


says a lot about the anarchist movement when they can't even spell

Which is not what the Anarchy symbol represents.

What with the Budwiser Beer Angels and sleeping in that hostel with your valuables in your colon, the graffiti was the crowning achievement

I remember hearing of a TCD mathematician having a flash of inspiration about something (something to do with imaginary numbers I think) and writting notes on the bridge he was crossing at the time so he could come back later and copy them down.

Growing up in the North I would often see the persuasive arguments made by the "Loilists" and the counter-arguments of those who wanted a united "Ierland".
