Ad Agency Mother New York hires known criminals
November 20, 2009
Wow, this must be the low of lows. Evidently Mother New York feels that painting up the town with graffiti is great, paying someone to do illegal street graffiti is cool. This is complete trash, because honestly that is what Mother is doing, making a mess.
The next day these people have to go out and cover up the work. In fact I call for Mother NY to be held responsible for any and all action both civil actions as well as criminal actions based on vandalism charges if they proceeds.
Spray painting the side of someone’s house or office isn’t what I considering advertising, it’s called vandalism. It’s not hip, it’s not cool. It’s giving someone a headache that has to clean up the mess.
Mother New York is teaming up with Animal, also known as Animalnewyork — a daily Web magazine — to bring BNE to New York on Dec. 10. Details are being kept under wraps for now because BNE, who has not been publicly identified, has had some run-ins with the law over his or her work.
Many New Yorkers who lived in the city during the 1970s and 1980s are not as enamored of graffiti and street art as advertising agencies are. They consider such work nuisances and scribbling, if not vandalism and illegal.
The New York Times is reporting
Because of course everyone feels this is valid advertising.
I am sorry Mother New York, this isn’t valid advertising. This is crap, literally. I really feel sorry for Mr. Deitchman, that feels that vandalism is a valid advertising option.
“There are a lot of people who’ve started their art in the street,” said Andrew Deichtman, a co-founder of and strategist at Mother New York,
“We’re generally, and genuinely, interested in these kinds of phenomenons,” Mr. Deitchman said.
Seriously Andrew, just resign now.. you don’t deserve to be getting a paycheck for hiring criminals to vandalise other people’s property.
