Seattle Burger King Billboard Gets Diabetes Graffiti

Someone has graffitied this Burger King billboard in downtown Seattle to transform it into criticism about how sugary fast food contributes to diabetes and the obesity crisis.

The original billboard does that classic advertising trick of getting away with making a joke while still promoting an idea that's not so great for you, which is to eat more deserts at Burger King.

The billboard shows an ice cream cone, a parfait, a milkshake and then a Burger King logo. Underneath the items in progression it says "side," "entree," and "drink." To modify it into a commentary, on the logo, the vandalizer drink a bloated person with a frowny face and x-ed out eyes. Below it they scrawled, "diabetes."

More Is Always on the Way

I had the pleasure of seeing Bryon Boyce's "More is Always Better" last night at Southern Exposure Art Gallery. It is part of a large group show entitled and themed around the word "Boom!" I was amazed by the double entendres he was able to create by being at the right place at the right time, with the right specific perspective to shoot these amazing signage portraits. I recognized a few of the shots, as signs I had also seen around San Francisco, but the way the Boyce presents them in context with other signs, create a social commentary that I would have never imagined.


Boom! at SOEX until December 18th

Just saw this billboard correction this morning. It's an ad in support of Prop 19 to legalize marijuana in CA.

If you read the details, Prop 19 is actually a step backward from legalizing marijuana
