Or they could just, you know, raise fines to absurd heights so no one ever again will think about putting posters outside of designated areas.

#22Wouldn't it be cheaper (stickers aren't free) and more effective to remove the poster? Nasa made a 1 million dollar pen to write in space, the Russians...
The Russians were at risk of pneumoconiosis due to breathing graphite dust and tiny little bits of eraser..

No. Labor is much more expensive than stickers and those posters are a bitch to remove.
Re: Event Cancelled
#24I've often wondered if we could deal with graffiti in a similar way. Since it usually consists of an "artist's" tag that personally identifies him, let's start appending "has an itty-bitty wee-wee" to tags and see if the broadcast of one's tiny manhood solves the problem. :P
This was the subject of a Saturday Night Live sketch starring Rudy Giuliani, who was at the time Mayor of NYC. "From now on, every time you write your name in graffiti on public property, we're going to put the word "Sucks" right under it. That's right. Instead of being Mr. Cool, everyone's going to think you suck." Video at http://hotair.com/archives/2007/02/06/video-rudy-combats-gra...
No, they're going to ignore it. Rudy wasn't the first person to think of this, I'm sure.

Re: Event Cancelled
#26How about printing up a sticker that says "Support Act: Michael Bolton" and putting it on offending events

Re: Event Cancelled
#28OK, funny - but they spend money on painting over the posters. Seems to me simply raising the fines would have been more effective, and better for city finances.

the problem is finding someone to fine and proving they did it (see tptacek's comment on false poster on acts he hates).
Re: Event Cancelled
#30So, what I'd want to do is find a couple acts I really hate, make a bunch of fake posters about their show, and get their "events cancelled".
comments like that will earn you karma here, but have quite the opposite effect in real life :)
