madthatter Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 When George Michael was going through his drunken phase he smashed his car into a wall and the local tv station got an unrivalled scoop by showing the crumbled bit of wall where the car hit. Where some wag had written "Wham!" in marker pen. Titter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madthatter Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Not graffiti (vandalism, possibly) but going to Farnworth baths as a kid made me laugh as the L from pool was missing for an age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The Lennon Wall in Prague, is probably the most famous location for graffiti in the world. Located on Velkopřevorské náměstí (the most unpronounceable phrase in the world although my wife pronounces it perfectly) When Lennon died, someone painted an image of Lennon on the wall opposite the French Embassy. The Russians painted over it but whithin a couple of days, the image was repainted. This went on repeatedly and became a symbol of the Czechs passive resistance to the Russian rule. It's still there today and is constantly being covered in more graffiti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
