SFist: Vandalism Report Card: I Love You, Muni

i love you

Here we see a simple blue Sharpie--and judging by the whimsy of the "i," written by a female--used to express affection for another person or, though it's doubtful, the Muni train itself. We believe the graffiti speaks to another person since any love for Muni is suggestive of psychosis.

Anyway, it's kind of nice to see graffiti on the outside of a Muni car instead of tagged on a window; it's so cinematically gritty. Combine the bout exterior vandalism with its aw-shucks message, and we appreciate it overall-- the most endearing graffiti we've come across.

Hm. I swear that the exact same thing is written in exactly the same handwriting under the "I'm so over you" posters on Divis and Haight. Anyone else seen those?

This was clearly the train driven by my morning "Muni Loves you!" N driver. Good to know someone loves him back.

The N finally showed up on time and I was tickled with affection.

*giggle*

a number of cars now have that tag on 'em. it appears to be done by the same person who did the "rose" graffiti on the parking meters a while back:

or they might just look similar.

I saw this yesterday on a piece of paper taped in a window on the front door of building at SF State! It was so random and yet the font was seemingly so sincere....it was heartwarming....

If it's guerrilla marketing, some ad exec needs to do some serious time scrubbing Muni bus floors.

(Oh, I fucked that up apparently.)

Shoulda said, "Oh, I love it, too."

It's no "Skull Fuck Muni" but it will do.

god.... peoples understanding of graffiti on here is hilarious......
