Wheatpaste observed

[imomus]

Berlin Wheatpasting, my first blog piece for Design Observer, is now up. I was afraid DO's readers would find my rather breathlessly enthusiastic endorsement of semi-legal Berlin flyposting naive, yuppie-ish or legally irresponsible, but so far the comments are positive. Well, comment. There's only one.

Why would it be yuppie-ish to be enthusiastic about semi-legal flyposting? I don't see the link.

it's yuppie-ish (pretentious without really thinking about the complete ramifications) to look at street art and say, "my, isn't that distinct and exceptional." whereas many working stiffs would despise it for dirtying up the streets, being non-commercial work, giving kids something to do that isn't very controlled etc.
