GOPDems

This was spotted today at the corner of of York and Varick Streets in downtown Jersey City and posted on Facebook by my friend Ayda E. under the title, “Anti-Health Care Reform banners,” though I’m not 100% sure they have to do with health care as the poster stings the GOP & the Democrats equally.

I asked if she had any idea about the origin of the posters and she replied, “Be the Change is there for quiet some time, but these two [posters] popped up this morning, I am quite sure they were not there last night.”

It only goes to prove that street art doesn’t require a Ph.D. and that as a culture we still haven’t evolved past the mid-20th C. How about creating some new imagery? Aren’t Nazis & Commies played out?
