Attn. City Council: Most Graf Nerds Are Grown Ass Men
At least, all of the grown ass men we know are graf nerds. The teens we know are actually more concerned with being smarter than us.
“Graffiti is out of control in the City of Philadelphia.”
Councilman Darrell Clarke says it’s out of control because stores too often ignore the ban on the sale of spray paint to minors.
So, he has introduced a bill that would require scanning of driver’s licenses or other proof of age for any spray paint purchase in the city.
Wait, does this mean that City Council didn’t read the graffiti-is-actually-mural-art story in PW last month? All hate and no appreciate aside, cans of Monster (not the drink, but there’s a marketing tie-in here somewhere) will not be impossible to come by even if this bill goes through. Chins up, there’s always the sympathetic uncle who walked you through your first tag.

Hoodie-wearin’ kidults riding around like Elliott from “E.T.” tagging with a mortgage. Creeping Christ on a cracker.
