Project gone wrong - LKTraz - 08-29-2009

Greetings fellow Bizarros:
I think we can all agree...kids are dumb. Just about the
only thing dumber than a kid is a bureaucrat, and just
about the only thing dumber than a bureaucrat is a Canadian
bureaucrat!
This chain of deduction came after reading a story on
calgarysun.com about a plan to let some young 'artists'
decorate a park in Calgary with urban street art. That's
graffiti to you and me.
Now graffiti or 'tagging' is recognized by many people to
be a legitimate form of artistic expression, but what the
people in charge of this project failed to realize is that
kids are still kids, and that is unruly, unpredictable,
destructive little shits.
After giving a small army of these young artists all of the
paint they could possibly use, they turned them loose in
the park...and then left.
Over the course of two days, a pack of paint-wielding
hooligans attacked the blank canvas that was the spiral
Landmark building at Millennium Park, turning it into a
huge eyesore. It is a monument to the blind stupidity of
the grown-ups who left "young urban artists" alone to
decorate a public park.
And they didn't spare the F word, either. In the men's
washroom, where spray paint even found its way inside the
porcelain urinals, a large F-word denigrating homosexuality
can be seen among graffiti that covers walls, doors,
ceiling and fixtures.
As well, there are slogans promoting drugs such as crack
cocaine, slamming city bylaw officers, and basically saying
the kind of thing young adults say, when they're being angry
and rebellious.
"They destroyed the fricking park -- they graffitied the
hell out of it. They tagged the entire fricking park,"
said Ald. John Mar, barely able to contain his anger and
outrage at the mess, and a clean up bill estimated at
between $30,000 and $60,000.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

Sadly, for the sheer fact they left the kids unattended, you cannot even fine the parents the cost of cleaning up. They should fine the imbecile who left them alone to their own devices though!
Looking at the caption under the image in the link, these dopes don't even know who was in charge of this project and who left the kids alone!
:appl: great job Canada!
