simply stenciled in Bold "BEWARE THE BUNNIES!"

No idea why, bunnies are awesome :)

Scouse wit

A road sign in Liverpool read 'Mersey Docks and Harbour Board'. Someone had added underneath '...and little lambs eat ivy'.

Probably been done. However...
There is a traffic STOP sign on my old uni campus, which has been graffitied as follows.

STOP

Someone once stopped on the motorway to
change the sign that says 'River Ouse' to 'River MOuse'. You have to respect that kind of commitment.

Graffiti or cockup?
you decide!
Was waiting for the no.10 bus in cheltenham, looked at the electronic bus timetable. I was dissapointed to read "This sign is maintained by gloucestershire County Council".

5 minutes passed. I checked the sign for an update. Lo and behold, how could i have not seen it before:

I saw a good one.
The top line read "I hate blacks", and underneath had been written "I agree, I prefer Millets."

on a timetable attached to a bus stop:

They had a point. I was there for about an hour until one bloody turned up.

Good advice?
I saw both of these in Romania:

Is that a reference to something I haven't heard of? I was amused by the "OK" sign and the (relatively) large cock and balls.

On the wall of a pharmacy (as the sign says).

Mr Bradley
My favourite ever was in the waiting room/shed at Darsham station in Suffolk. Bear in mind that this was about 0.5 miles from where at least two of the Cunts in the Darkness grew up. Not that they necessarily had anything to do with it.

It simply read 'Mr Bradley blows goats'.

Now, this is a rather posh section of Suffolk. Which makes me think that either Mr Bradley wasn't too choosy about his ruminants, or that it was just a big cocking lie, unperpetrated by either of the Cunts in the Darkness.

Still, good graffito.

Simple yet amusing
A parking meter had been hit by a car near my house and was all bent out of shape

next to it on the pavement someone had written "queer" with an arrow pointing at it

The randomness of Prague
Desperately hungover after a mammoth binge the night before myself and a friend set out to explore prague beyond its bars.

After staggering up the almighty hill to the castle (during which my friend expertly threw up near the gates to the disgust of many American tourists. Double Whammy!)and taking in some rageful european delights we sauntered down the hill only to find the best piece of news we'd heard all week...

more weedkiller
Back in about 1988/89 some highly intellectual type had got hold of a bad of weedkiller and defaced the UMIST bowling green. It was a masterpiece. You could see it from the train.
Massive letter.

"I (heart) UMST"

Which i think sums up UMIST graduates perfectly.

Starbucks political statement
A guy from work bought me a Starbucks', and had coloured in the S, T, A, R, S, C, E and E of the 'STARBUCKS COFFEE' label, leaving 'BUCK OFF'. I'm sure you can figure out how he changed the B. Still, the coffee was free and tasted normal.

CDC
Many thanks to the half dozen people who messaged me to explain what the acronym cdc stands for.

I can't hide the fact that I am a trifle disappointed to discover it has nothing to do with the Commonwealth Development Corporation.

This was on the back of the Opera House in Scarborough...
...for many years till they knocked it down and turned it into a casino.

There were loads of them round town - all spelt wrong - and people had tried to add in missing letters when they realised their mistake!

Brilliant stuff.

The British Oak, Wakefield
On the inside of the door of one of the cubicles in the male loos, the words:

"I DO NOT shag Horses!!"

are written in proud, bold letters. What I want to know is, what prompted this declaration? And, perhaps more pertinently, why write it on the inside of the bog door?

The best ones are the simple ones of childhood innocence
when you're issued with a new text book in science, history or geography at the beginning of a new school year. To open to half way through the book only to find an enormous CDC enscirbed in biro, spunking all over the battle of hastings, or protruding from edwin chadwick's crotch. It naturally became your duty to sometime during the year leave a similar gift for next year's recipient. It's like counting the rings in a tree trunk, you can tell the age of a text book by counting the penises.

CDC
People seem reluctant to answer my question about what a "cdc" is.

Does it refer to the Climate Diagnostics Centre?

Perhaps the Centre for Disease Control?

Or maybe the Commonwealth Development Corporation (apparently "a UK government-owned fund of funds, with net assets of US$4bn" according to their website)?

I'm unsure how any of these organisations are significant to the world of graffiti; please enlighten me.

Seriously, saying things like "There was this enourmous CDC on some wall somewhere or other" etc means nothing IF YOU DON'T CHUFFING WELL EXPLAIN WHAT ONE IS!!!!

Cheers.

EDIT: Okay, so I'm guessing that this has something to do with the Cult of the Dead Cow perhaps. Either that or Cotswolds District Council.

The book
Anyone remember the Graffiti books by Nigel Rees? From late seventies/early eighties.

The ones I can remember are:

"BE ALERT" which underneath someone added in tiny letters "your country needs lerts"

"Will the last person to leave the country please turn the lights off"

and hilariously, "I love GRILS!", to which some one added "I think you mean girls", which was followed by "What about us GRILS?" which was hilarious probably.
