Graffiti on a C-train platform

CALGARY C-TRAIN GRAFFITI

This week's graffiti was sent in from one of my highly esteemed blog readers Scotland's Shame.


It looks like it says "Kill (A) Nazi Scum." I am interpreting the (A) as an anarchy symbol. It is very poorly drawn and as a result this graffiti "artist" is going to lose a lot of points in the visual style and artist dexterity categories. Unfortunately the (A) is so poorly drawn that this artist will not be able to make up any of those points in the creativity or effort categories. What I am willing to do is consider that the medium is the message. While trying to draw the symbol for anarchy you have committed the highest order of artistic anarchy by defying all norms. For this I salute you.

I want to talk a bit about how the word scum has been scratched out. I wish that I could interview the artist and ask him if this was intentional or if it was added afterwards. My impression of this artist is that they would lie to me to make it seem as though they actually scratched that out on purpose for visual effect.

Comments:
There are many ways to interpret this graffiti. As a result, the viewer is confused about which role they play in this graffiti. "Kill Anarchy, nazi-scum." "Kill anarchy-nazi, scum." Is nazi-scum the subject of this poorly structured sentence ? or are there people out there who are 'anarchy-nazis'? Should I be scared? I think that the only thing that I am really scared of is that this "graffiti artist" is out there "creating" more of these abominations. My only advice for this artist is to work on visual style and grammar so that people won't dismiss you as a worthless teenager who will grow up to be a 28 year-old deadbeat father of three children who skips town and then dodges his child-support payments and complains about his manager at KFC expecting too much from him for the amount of his paycheque that gets garnished by collection agencies. Who is the anarchy nazi now?
