taxi porn/taxi scorn

So, I have crossed the line into criminal and made my first foray into the world of vandalism. Graffiti by way of a size large black sharpie pen.

Shhh. I know, a terrible thing defacing someone else's property, and without any artistic value either.
But let me tell you about the Yellow Cab taxi advertisements. All of the taxi's have advertising boards on the top and recently they were all bought by a chain of strip clubs in the city. Now wherever you go photos of scantily clad women follow you around the city trying to entice you to visit a "gentleman's club". Downtown, in residential neighborhoods, next to the school, on the freeway, in the 7-11 parking lot.

Finally it got to me, I was walking to the grocery store late last night only to be faced with yet another cab-with-pole-girl. So.
I casually added a black sharpie to my shopping basket and once out in the empty parking lot, tiptoed up to the empty car. The marker made a satisfying squeak on the billboard paper and then I was carrying my shopping bag home, heels clicking on the pavement. The picture of innocence.
