Public Ad Campaign – LEETO Takes Advantage of Poster Boy's Liberated Billboard

Jordan has a great point about the recent graff by Leeto on the liberated billboard by Poster Boy: "It should be noted that the criminalization of graffiti by the city is responsible for LEETO's inability to carry out something more elegant and earnest in this situation." I completely agree. Decriminalize graff!!!
