We Didn't Need Dialogue, We Had Defaces!

As Thanksgiving gave way to Christmas and then to New Years, I began to notice that our Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys posters in the subways were being modified. I found this almost as much of a kick as the posters themselves and so, as touching coda to season one, Elisa and I present some of our favorite “improvements” on Miles Aldridge’s memorable ad campaign.

IMG00215-20110104-0829 — Note the “FAG HAGS” scribble in the center “O”!

IMG00216-20110104-0829 — Detail of “Trash T.V.”

IMG00220-20110112-1132 — If your mouth is open you’re gonna catch flies.

IMG00225-20110113-1115 — Clever use of chewing gum to suggest what Sahil might have been thinking.

IMG00226-20110113-1116 — Detail of chewing gum modification. Technically considered “sculpture” now.

IMG00222-20110113-1105 — What struck me about this one was that someone thought Avi had an idea.

IMG00224-20110113-1106 — GWLBWLB goes Agitprop: here conspiracy theorists curiously implicate sweet Rosebud Baker in the destruction of the Twin Towers. Unexpected.

“T.V. Makes Asses Of Us All”: this is actually only true if you act like an ass while they are filming you.

We were menaced by a rat while taking some of these pictures.

Here’s where it got personal! Literally DEFACED!

This anti-campaign is brilliance personified. I am inpsired to find a poster unaltered. You’ve been forwarned!
