    "Welcome to every graffiti jam ever. Black backgrounds til the end of time."

    ha! I've just walked into work and passed a stretch of wall that gets regularly re-painted in black to cover the graffiti, which invariably then gets re-graffitied, as it has today with someone covering the entire thing in crappy white lines (ruining it for *everyone*, but whatever) so I was thinking to make a stencil for the next re-paint that says something like "Once you make it black, we'll always come back".

    I'm thinking the company that gets hired to do the painting knows that black is a great canvas and chooses it specifically... .

    • The company that paints it black sends out kids at night to paint the graffitis.
      that's the template for successful painting contractors.
