First and foremost, I am contacting PGs clients to assure they are aware of the tactics of their vendor. As of now, I'm organizing a boycott of Poster Giant, but not yet their clients, as I am quite sure that many of their clients will have some strong feelings about PG's tactics, and therefore, I view their clients as allies, rather than enemies. Poster Giant is the enemy. Their clients are not the enemies at this point. I'm looking to work with them, rather than fight with them, and I don't see a fight with their clients being necessary at this time. However, to boycott companies that choose to do uninterrupted business with Poster Giant, even after learning of their tactics, well, at that point, would they really be any better than Poster Giant? Or would they be enabling them to do terrible things? But ultimately, I'd much rather make friends than anything else... But a company cannot just bury its head in the sand while they pay someone to fuck over everyone else. There must be some accountability

As for Poster Giant, I don't care for the eye sores they subject us to, but they do seem to be doing their best to make this one right. I mean, they're apologizing and cleaning it and not being jerks about it, so there's got to be some brownie points in there somewhere.

this building is a free for all that occasionally has charm (like the john williams mural) but at the end of the day it's a boarded up shithole that gets D+ art on it every once in a while.

i've seen posters covering dozens of murals over the years. why is this one so special?

postergiant is a group of assholes for a lot of reasons, but this isn't one of them. fuck that building and its boring art.

I don't say that to forgive this posterGIANT outfit - who I have never heard of before this. It's just that this building has always annoyed me. It is a handsome structure, and could be so much more than a palette for whatever we are calling "art" these days.

Fix the building up, get it back on the tax rolls. Then let's talk art.

Especially taggers. Hanging's too good for them.

Nobody could be so completely blind stupid to not realize what they were covering up with that those cheezy ad posters.
