I had to check the calendar as I thought is this an April fools farce for hipsters to spend their dosh on!!!!? Off the fence now as the more I think about it the more I don't like it... But I do wish the guys good luck as I do not want to step on any toes.

The idea of using billboards to promote an anti advertising has to be done with some care! It seems that these guys have debated this dilemma and set up a few hard lines, particularly "no corporate advertising". Unfortunately the genie escaped the lamp on that one ages ago, we constantly see both spray painted and reverse graffiti (jet sprayed) guerilla advertising on the pavements. Let's hope Worship The Ground does avoid being used for advertising and is just used for charming statements from exhibitionists with pennies to spare.NoLionsInEnglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769028506475253334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372208458817389437.post-12747037012468116332018-02-09T10:28:55.120+00:002018-02-09T10:28:55.120+00:00Can't quite get my head around this one Dave!!...Can't quite get my head around this one Dave!!!..... Kind of a sell out on one hand and a bloody good idea on the other.. My concern is of the commercialism being given to street art with this project! If there were hundreds of these about I'm sure the impact would become very tacky and then every Tom, Dick and Harry would get on the act.... The advertising junkies might slip in thru the backdoor and pollute the world with even more crap to sell us... And we all hate stepping in crap on the best of days.. So really enjoyed reading your post but find myself sitting on the fence here... "Thinking did I miss seeing the wet paint sign below" ~ I think if I placed an order it would say...... "Have you just gone one step too far...?" Mitchhttps://lordhicks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
