What could be ruin the whimsical fun of covering public edifices with little lights that mean some poor janitor needs to get the ladder out of the supply closet? Well, buying them at thinkgeek.com to save a little money and time, that's what.

No, these things from thinkgeek are pathetic.
First of all, does the Graffiti Research lab know about this? Second of all, theirs last for a paltry 48 hours, and probably don't stick very well because of shotty magnets and cheaper than dirt batteries. The ones I make last weeks. And each magnet has 16lbs of pulling force, so when you lob one, it sticks, guaranteed (unless you have poor aim).
My opinion after having done these for a couple years now: Do it right, buy the supplies online, build them yourself. Its a fun project, and making them is part of the fun.
Its kind of disgust to me to see something like this being mass produced and marketed on a "geek website".
The best thing is that somehow Graffiti Research lab is going to shut down thinkgeek's opperation for having the audacity to put a price tag their awesome urban art littering culture. Second best is the guy bragging about how his pollutants last long give the fish a nice glow long after that janitor has chucked them down the nearest drain (FUCKING KIDS). |
