Local Artist Collective Welcomes the IOC on April 1st.
This past week has left us feeling inspired. The bus stops ads, corpoations supporting the bid, flags everywhere, buses themselves, the olympic spirit has gripped the city. Never have we feltsuch a sence of pride in our greater comunity. We owe it all to this fine people, who have been kind enough to grace us with there presence for the week. Word got out about the soire they were having last night and we felt the need to do something to show them how the city feels, much more that dinner and drinks ever could. We couldn't hide our passionate pride for one more day.
April Fools you fucking idiots!
Last night we paint bombed two billboard monstrosities overlooking the Kennedy expressway. they were Olympic advertisements, just like the ones you see everytime you turn your head. Except bigger. We kindly suggest fellow citizens to find friends, some eggs, or paint and bombard the advertisements that our trying to sell gentrification, police oppression, profits for the rich, and annoying tourists.
We Won't Pay!
Fuck the corporate circus, Sabotage the Olympic bid.
