  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

NYC’s True Graffiti Problem

submitted by LadyBug

1 decade 7 years 8 months 2 weeks ago

Advertising is the vandalism of the Fortune 500.

This is the first collaboration between the Anti-Advertising Agency and Graffiti Research Lab. Modified from Ji Lee’s Abstractor TV. We used black foam core ($10/sheet) cut with a laser cutter - however, this project can be done with an x-acto blade, black construction paper, and duct tape for next to nothing. It can be repeated using any backlit display - bus shelters, display ads, television store windows… dream big, act now.

Why don't viddies with acts of civil disobedience on this scale, get a hundred votes in ten minutes??? Acts like these are what will save the planet......

Agree with choggie. This is probably the coolest thing I've seen today. It reminds me of these horrible horrible signs around Halifax that somebody decided to draw on in chalk- THIS SIGN IS UGLY

Well done! This is fantastic culture jamming.

great post ladybug

I must be becoming immune to advertisements. I just don't seem to notice or care. Or perhaps it's a desensitization.

plastiquemonkey

so, if
advertising = graffiti
and
graffiti = art
then
advertising = art
right?

That's what is being pushed in art education.

someone should promote this, this is great.

Damn they should prepare themselves for some major legal retaliation
