He should have written exclusively with a writing utensil from https://penisland.net/ (surprisingly SFW)

It always bothers me so much how someone who "allegedly" committed a crime can have his photo and full name published in the newspaper in the US.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 27 points 1 week ago

Yep. Horrifying. That's some sort of mob justice right there, IMO. Who still needs a trial after that, and if you're found innocent it's up to you to sue the newspaper for defamation. Or the police department, good luck with that.

The penis mightier than the sword.

It is not clear yet exactly how detectives traced Ballengee down before making the arrest

Jesus Christ it's not that complicated, you just find the man with the penis

They'd have to show up eventually

Don't tempt me

The people who get angry over graffiti are so weird. I feel like being in a city with no graffiti anywhere would feel really weird and unsettling

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I go either way since graffiti can range between beautiful works of art and some douchebag tagging his local 'crew' name on my neighbors fence.

This one is amusing and definitely gets a pass from me though.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Graffiti should basically always be done on corporate or city property. Anyone tagging personal property is a dick.

Anyone tagging personal property is a ~~dick~~ penis man

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If it’s artistic, sure. Even if it said “penis man” in an artful way. But this is as close to art as a adult still drawing stick figures. It’s almost embarrassing we don’t have better vandals in the neighborhood.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

In some respects the art is in the act itself, in the rebellion, in defiance, in the declaration that "I was here." Even something as simple as a tag scrawled on a wall that seems illegible to the uninitiated but actually contains complex letterforms like Philly's wickets, or even the simplicity from the great Cornbread himself.

In some ways Penis Man here is more of an artist IMO than anyone who only paints legally, even Sofles level murals.

And he went back over the buff too, props to Penis Man.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, so a urinal is art, but Penis Man isn't? So plebian. Scoff! I scoff at thee!

[–] PacMan@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s a weird thing I see some amazing graffiti here and there. My city actually pays for and has a competition for it…….. but like 99% of it it’s gang tags and neo Nazi’s sadly

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Interesting, in my area almost all of the graffiti that isn't just random art or names is things like trans flags, acab, free palestine, etc. I don't think I've seen any nazi stuff I recognized

Were I God Emperor of New Jersey, I'm setting aside art money to have graffiti artists liven the place up a bit. A lot? Go wild at the Atlantic City Racetrack maybe.

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

God Emperor of New Jersey is the Dune spinoff I never knew I needed!

I stayed in downtown Denver and right across the street from my hotel where I'd go to catch the bus somebody wrote in sharpie on an electrical box

MY YAMMY IS IN FLORIDE DUH

It was one of the highlights of my trip and I hope it's still there if I ever make it there again

Edit: found a picture

You laugh now, but it's expected in phase 7 of the MCU.

Peniverse Of Madness?

Can’t wait for ”Penis Man & The Vag: Creampiemania”

🎵 Penis man, penis man, does whatever a penis can 🎵

Let me guess, they tracked his phone's GPS.

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Much simpler: They looked into his passport to see that he's a man and then they looked into his pants...

Back in April I snapped this photo at a strip mall in Tempe, near Broadway & Mill Ave:

"PENIS MAN" crudely spray painted onto blank store signage in a mostly abandoned strip mall in Tempe, AZ

Didn't think too much about it after that, but I'm glad his handiwork was intriguing and well-known enough that that I can have some closure.

[–] ProfessorHoover@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Given the topic, what was so crude you had to censor the rightmost sign?

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)
[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Way nicer handwriting.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Damn dude that’s like his soulmate

That's funky. I love the second one basically asking if they got it right.

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what I thought, looking at that sly grin

[–] Ele7en7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That title has to be written by ai
