And the spray-paint debate begins...

Graffiti is an abomination, a bleeding gash inflicted on the city of Athens by huddling morons after midnight.

The miracle in Athens is that individuals who love architecture and street beauty continue to attempt to restore old buildings, despite the certainty that these cretin scrawlers will inevitably come slouching by in the dead hours with their spray cans and their barely opposable thumbs.

This was always my view, even when it happened to other people's homes. The repeated defacing of the exterior marble on our flat in downtown Athens just reinforces it.

Rather than chase pictures of their aerosolular spewings, it would be more interesting perhaps to get some photographs of the perpetrators in action to secure a few prosecutions.
