Paint Explosion, Liverpool Street

Is it just me or do these barriers actually look like they’re looking at mess and wondering how to clear it up? Note the “walk of shame” footprints in the bottom right of this picture.

Weird Photoshopping, Clerkenwell

This is so weird. Is the big girl on the left actually a fattened up version of the girl on the right? It looks like she’s had some hideous allergic reaction to something that has made her bloat up like she’s in some kind of recent Eddie Murphy film.

Speaking of Murphy, I saw that film Precious the other day and I barely laughed at all. He needs to stop it with the fat suits now.

Italian Punning, Holborn

Masterful bit of punnage here that enables anyone casually reading the sign aloud to unwittingly adopt a comedy Italian accent a la that bloody Dolmio family who were probably ejected from the Jim Henson studio for reinforcing lazy racial stereotypes. Mamma Mia!

Textbook example of opportunistic graffiti here. The writer saw a chance and took it and I’m glad he did. In fact I would say that graffiti of this kind should be legal provided it is witty enough.

I’ll then post it to the blog if it’s funny/bleak enough. Please also have a look at the Shit London awards page. Prizes will be awarded to the best shots in various categories in September. Don’t get too excited about that…no, really.
