Today MyBallard put up a simple post about a couple of billboards that were vandalized in town. Starbucks and McDonald’s billboards were painted over, changing a few words to leave funny commentaries about the quality of their food. “It’s not just coffee, it’s Starbucks” became “It’s not good coffee, it’s Starbucks”. And so on. Good for a chuckle, I twittered it, and let’s all move on.

Until the commenters got involved, at least. Then it turned into a holy war about good graffiti, bad graffiti, capitalism, and “multinational earth raping corporations”. 88 comments so far, and doubtless more will be added over the night. Quite a launching point for some people’s sore nerves, it seems.
