I love when people show their humor in creative ways like this, I wish we saw more of this stuff on the internet!
In San Pedro a street artist painted very realistic black and white cats on fences and walls, some idiot complained that this was graffiti and they were painted over, I miss the radon painted cats.
some scrubs are always gonna complain about these works of "art" and have them removed
