ITV Central News - Birmingham Graffiti

[SUCHROXWELL]

This is honestly hilarious! You could probably find a local news report from every region in the country for every year since 1984, where some smart-arsed councillor thinks they have single-handedly devised a unique strategy to eliminate bombing by earmarking some out-the-way shitty wall as a 'graffiti zone'! Genius!!........Or. Perhaps local authorities are aware that it's a fight they can't win so are content to just make these weak gestures to the media to appease angry constituents?? Hmmmmm

I LOVE HOAKSER, BUT DISAGREA THAT GRAFFITTI NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED. THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT CONTROLLED!

[MISTARmos]

selly oak used to be the place to be.

i think they should relegalise it, and hire somebody to look at the wall designs before people do it, just so they know that people arent going to tag all over the place, i think by doing this they will cut down on the tagging in the area. obviously they arent going to get rid of it all together, tagging will be around as long as graffiti is. if the government complain about tagging so much, surely they should do something about it.

[charl1ex0]

wtf... i was in birmingham for a couple of days this week and didnt see any graffiti as bad as the one the reporter was standing next to towards the beginning

[HANDLN1sYT]

Stupid shit... its like a pizza with no base.... just a cheese and tom puddle... you aint known then people go over your shit. Are they going to have walls for toys to fuck over eachothers lame attempts till they get a clue?! No! No tagging, no graff next gen! & graff aint going anywhere so go deal people. Graffiti artists? Artists paint for money and on canvas. I'm going to go and key the first BMW I see today... because I can... because no one is looking...

[charl1ex0]

what the fuck is the point in painting a legal wall when you know in like a couple of days time someone will come and do a piece over yours...

rooftops forever

[dozeoneuk]

this is where your knowledge of graffiti failed. Tagging isnt putting up a piece, its signing your name like you would if you were signing your dole cheque like most of you chumps who write the way you do have to partake in every 2 weeks. peiceing is when you write a big fucking peice on the wall, full colour burners like hoex does. you dont know shit so stick to scribling shit dubs in the back of your maths book fool.

[LE13GRAFFITI]

see at 31 thats what makes graffiti look crap and makes people think its a nonsense but really there toys with no style just tag to be down with something they have no idea about but really there's more graffiti that doesnt look crap than does..

[explicitkiid]

tagging is a part of graffiti. I ONLY KNOW ONE LEGAL SPOT AND YOU HAVE TO BOOK IT. its also meant to be seen so why spend fuck loads of money on paint if no one will see the outcome.

[SENZBIRMZ]

0:51 my tag aha

[yoyobuck]

you must be so proud

[DirtySkankBlud]

nice

[tobrobfor]

go fuck yourselves you conformist pricks. art is much better than hangin round on the streets. you can never stop us, so why bother. TFA!!!

[bajamatty1]

[jyejyeyebinx]

[jennythemusicmaker]

[animemangafreak91]

fuck you shit flaps

[explicitkiid]

they dont know shit, they say that its gang culture, many people are graffiti artists but want to get known aswell. all they are seeing are toys, people who cant tag with style or piece well, good pieces are normally kept but there are so many toys out there that real artists get givin a bad name

[1pissflap]

what kind of writer would say "yeah get rid of tagging"?........

[FukinNamesTaken]

he is an artist not a piece of worthless shot

[greeker8]

propaganda in the most propagandistic country of europe

[GraffMunster]

This is bollocks... To me there can be as much style in a simple tag as there is in some massive peice.

Look at bates, his tags oooze style. same style that oozes from his peices. these people need a fuckig clue.

[chastanova]

"acceptable art"

fuck you

its so funny how people think that proper painters all of a sudden just decide they arent gona go and bomb anymore. "graffiti artists" and "taggers" are the same fucking thing

[slimzb8]

[rambomatt]

but without the tag there is no fucking pieces, did it nor come to them that the more illegal they make it the more "unsightly" it is to the ignorant, pretentios assholes that never go to the park but decide that they dont like the graff being there anyway.

[FUSER2K07]
