which as a
reclaim the streets! activists I consider to be a fine place of study.
The slogan read "¿Quien eres Tu?" which translates as "¿who are you?"
well some graffitti artists answered by climbing the scaffold and writing their tags beneath.
result NIKE has removed the advert.

if you´re interested in subvertising go to subvertise.org
and if you could do a fundraiser for them =do.
sites like that need $€ to survive.
