Palestinian graffiti spreads message of peace

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/04/16/palestinian.wall.graffiti/index.html?iref=newssearch 

art.wall.cnn.jpg

There is a web site that takes orders for graffiti messages to be sprayed on the Israeli barrier.  The cost is $40 for each message and they send pictures to the person who ordered the message.  Two thirds of the money goes to the peace and Freedom Youth Forum.  The security barrier they use is the one that separates Israel from Palestinian West Bank.  Messages written on the wall are of peace, marriage proposals, jokes, and other popular slogans.  Activists say that spray-painting is a form of peaceful protest for the Palestinians.

I thought that this was pretty cool.  What do you guys think??

This is incredible. Finally somebody is realizing that graffiti is a form of art and can be used to spread thoughts and messages all around the world. In this case, peace. Graffiti should not be degraded and thought of only as vandalism.

I love this isdea. I think graffiti is cool just in our everyday lives is like illegal unscheduled art. It's cool to look at sometimes but leaving things clean is much better for my OCD.

I personally like artistic graffiti, even though this isn't that artistic its for an actual cause so it has meaning.

I think that this is probably the only legitimate form of graffiti, that isn't vandalism. There's a massive difference between this, which shouldn't even be considered art,

And this, which clearly sends a clear and desperate cry for peace.

Granted, this wouldn't be considered art either, but this has some legitimacy.

This is sending a clear message to the outside world, whereas the first picture is just a compilation of fancy letters that forms an illegible word.
