The whole offensive graffiti thing is getting old

By: Vesal Yazdi at 11:44 am

At last! Barnard too has embraced the wonderful world of discriminatory graffiti in what is either a poor attempt to get some publicity, show that idiots also exist at Barnard, or prove that Hewitt is just as bad-ass and has as much as street cred as John Jay dining hall with their weird omelettes and their new waffles-at-night idea. All we need is a bit of love.

The two incidents of graffiti were described as follows:

“It was a stick figure drawing of a person holding a burning bra, and there was the word feminist with the ‘f’ made into a swastika.”

The other “was a woman being chainsawed in half.”

Who in the blazes thinks of drawing that whacky voodoo shyte? Why can’t we just draw pictures of Care Bear dancing with Barney or Bollinger playing footsies with Ahmadinejad?

  1. I’d actually think that the graffiti-doers would be ashamed by now … just stealing other peoples’ ideas. Come ON, bandits! At least be creative with your malfeasances. Geez.
