Mayor Ford plans to make Toronto much blander than it already is
OMG, the citizens are expressing themselves through art! Art not commissioned and paid for by a corporation!
This has to stop!
905 aesthetics for everyone!
Mayor Rob Ford announced a major blitz of graffiti Wednesday.
Ford’s graffiti pledge came alongside the city’s annual 20-minute makeover announcement.
During the election campaign, Ford vowed to tackle graffiti, proclaiming he would “clean this city up once and for all” and within six months “I guarantee there will not be graffiti,” he said on the campaign trail.
I hope the artists of this city declare war on this nasty "little" man.
The most horrific part of the story: city hall's plan to "work closely with the arts community to create legal murals"
Let that sink in folks. "Legal" murals...
“There is no question, my friends, that art is beautiful,” Palacio said.
But the art that this will produce will be of surpassing hideousness.
Unless it is a life sized tableau depicting the main events in the lives of Our Glorious Leaders, The Brothers Ford.
There must be a wall big enough, somewhere. The dancing hippos scene from Fantasia would be perfect inspiration.
The pink colour of the tutus would have to be changed, out of respect of course.
