SheAsani K'Rotzono (ft. da phallic lamppost) Word from: Jake

Inspired by Dave's The Writing is On the Wall post, last week I took a few curious photos of Jerusalem graphitti. This one is my favorite. Who painted it - a feminist? chauvinist? secret underground organization a-la Da Vinci Code? I was thoroughly mystified. Moreover, I've seen 2-3 of these around town. Does anyone have an idea? Alieza, is that yours?

In regard to this Mea Shearim photo, aside from the juxtaposition of the narratives, the only thing I could add is that, well, handwriting is quite nice, no? It belongs to a diligent student... who leisurely took his or her time to get these letters out on to the building.

This isn't a graphitti, but definitely, the one word that looks the oddest in a neighborhood like Mea Shearim. You could make all sorts of corny jokes on the subject: "What changes in Mea Shearim? The rate of yen..."


And, I couldn't resist. This one is from Kirovograd, Ukraine. If you enlarge the photo, you can find the building's address: "10 Prospekt Communistichesky". The street name hasn't changed since the days when I attended middle school #34, located right across that alley (prospekt), but the graphitti is spanking new. Who'd expect Hip-Hop to surface in this ghetto?
