Slog - Comments on Then It Hit Me http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/then_it_hit_me Fuck—it is hot on the East Coast. But I just got back, and now this. Fuck. Anyway, while I was there I saw these awesome pieces of graphic activism. Senators and fat cats whisked around Washington, D.C. have to travel in cars donned with these… What license plate slogan would be most appropriate for politically correct and divided Washington State? Maybe “This space intentionally left blank”? And next, from the Big Apple – which, when it bakes, smells nothing like apple pie – an agitprop wheat pasting.

Some cad blacked out "not," "won't," and "doesn't" and added an "s" to "interest" so that the poster better matched the unbridled future rock star enthusiasm of the place...

Delusions of grandeur die hard.

I stay creative because I have delusions of grandeur. You do too? What will you be famous and adored for?

Since then, I've seen it in many cities, including Seattle and NY.
