			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Round the corner from my house there&#8217;s a vacant corner plot. The builders or developers who have access to it sometimes leave the occasional wheelbarrow or pot of paint propped up in a corner amongst the overgrown weeds, but other than that it&#8217;s  been empty for months.  Recently they&#8217;ve boarded up the area, but not very well, and now they keep blowing down.</p>
<p>One local resident has clearly had enough of this and have made their complaint as  public and obvious as they could, which is great.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meltingman/2377301582/" title="Board Protest by meltingman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2359/2377301582_a3cef6812c.jpg" alt="Board Protest" border="0" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>It says:</p>
<p>(DON&#8217;T LET THIS JUST  BE&#8230; COMPLAIN + BE HEARD<br />
THEY MIGHT BE SHAMED INTO ACTION)<br />
SORT THIS OUT B4 SOME1 GETS HURT<br />
IT KEEPS HAPPENING + I&#8217;M BORED OF WAITING 4 U 2 DEAL WITH IT<br />
DO IT THIS W.E RATHER THAN JUST RE-PAINTING IT WHITE<br />
THE END BIT IS IN THE FLIPPING ROAD &#8212;&gt;</p>
<p>The last bit is my favourite. It clearly is in the road:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meltingman/2376483463/" title="boards_in_road by meltingman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2299/2376483463_ac7fd7c9ab.jpg" alt="boards_in_road" border="0" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I love how totally irrefutable that is.</p>
<p>If I were responsible for the boards, I&#8217;d want to repair them and write IT&#8217;S A FAIR COP &#8211; SORRY.</p>

<p>Thanks to Leebs for the snap.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t been up to Shoreditch recently, but it&#8217;s kind of comforting (albeit comforting in a bit of  a freaked out sort of way) to know that he&#8217;s still on the case.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Further to <a href="http://meltingman.co.uk/blog/?p=9">Hoxton 2.0?</a>, I received a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meltingman/298728231/">Flickr comment</a> from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/max_sang/">Dr Max</a> who has seen more anti-myspace graffiti around the Shoreditch area.</p>
<p>From the fast becoming mantra-like:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/max_sang/303068346/"><img width="450" height="300" align="middle" alt="myspace is for losers" title="myspace is for losers" src="http://static.flickr.com/115/303068346_9e576b4de9.jpg?v=0" /></a></p>
<p>to the no nonsense directive:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/max_sang/292626718/"><img width="450" height="300" align="middle" alt="get out of myspace" title="get out of myspace" src="http://static.flickr.com/102/292626718_193794eb5e.jpg?v=0" /></a></p>
<p>I like the blue background on these.</p>
<p>I also like that there&#8217;s apparently an unfinished version that just says MYSP&#8230;</p>
<p>GET OUT OF MYSPACE&#8230; Hmmm. See, suddenly I&#8217;m not so sure that this is the spraycan last front in the battle against Murdoch&#8217;s social network after all, but maybe some clever art thing about reclaiming hoardings as social space.</p>
<p>Any more examples, please pass them on and we can try some flickr maps triangulation.</p>
