Graffiti on Marine Parade dustbins a copycat of SingPost stunt?
Tweet
STOMPer Horizon wonders if these dustbins in Marine Parade with graffiti on them are the result of a copycat of the SingPost publicity stunt.
Said the STOMPer:
"I was walking to the Marine Parade Library on 17 Jan 2010 when I saw this.
"The first picture shows a normal bin. The second and third pictures show bins that seem vandalised.
"Should the public call the police for investigation?
"Is this a copy of the Singapore Post publicity stunt by Marine Parade Town Council?
"Marine Parade Town Council was closed when I contributed this story. I could not verify with them."

The dustbins are painted as of July 2009 to promote the habits of throwing litters properly. These are done in a community event held in front of blk 79, and it's not even graffiti lah. Even schools participated in it, and public also. I even particpated in it, you can't just call it graffiti. I bet the TC will say it in your face that they've given permission to the neighbourhood to do this so that our dustbins will look better. About Singpost copying it, well. You can't say we copied them as this started first.

I rather have dustbins look like that. Who taught you that dustbins have to be green and ugly? LOL no la no offence but it's really nice to have dustbins like that. You take a look overseas and you'll see cuter designs of dustbin. It's actually quite inviting, no?

It doesn't even look like graffiti lol. Its just some art work painted by students on the dustbin, like the one in my secondary school. Or painted by anyone, to make it a attraction for all the passerbys, so they wont be littering all around and will aim for the bin instead.

Wait ! 1 element is missing. A man in mask is missing. So this time it should be for real. As least it looks like art.
