Dear Disney, Please Quit Vandalizing Our City

sfweekly.com — We knew there'd be trouble when the Disney Company lent its characters to street wear giant The Hundreds last year. Since the collaboration, the San Francisco streets have been sticker-bombed with more images of the Lost Boys and Tinkerbell than one can count. And while the city rips them down, new stickers just keep popping up.

  • Desmothenes, on 04/07/2009, -0/+15This is like blaming the "Calving pissing on Ford logo" stickers on Bill Watterson.
  • jeffmon, on 04/07/2009, -2/+15Literally.
  • Fishn2, on 04/07/2009, -1/+9Is the best way of dealing with it really to give them more publicity with a big slideshow?
  • inactive, on 04/07/2009, -0/+7So, if someone randomly puts Digg.com stickers everywhere, it is Kevin Rose's fault?

    People who put those juvenilke Calvin pissing sitckers on places was Bill Watterson's fault?
  • cprincipe, on 04/07/2009, -2/+8Oh so when Banksy does it, it's cool, but when it's Disney characters, suddenly it's vandalism?

  • Coffeedemon, on 04/07/2009, -0/+5Well I didn't think the stickers were that much of an issue but there is something to be said for a drawing or painting vs a lazy scrawl of some "tag" that no one outside your group can read or even more lazily slapping a sticker on something.
  • superc0w, on 04/07/2009, -0/+4Look at the posting history and the day the account was created.

  • xedd, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2This too shall pass.
  • Elranzer, on 04/07/2009, -1/+3I'm so ***** sick of San Fransisco.
  • sexybobo, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2@comfort1872
    Disney did sell the the rights to use the characters and can probably back out of the contract if they wanted to because of this.
  • kibbled, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2No, it is "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"......
  • dnields, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2"If it was titled that, I'd have no idea who or what that is and not care about the story."

    Even if I would know who or what it was... I still wouldn't care about the story.
  • Thowin, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2Your city is already covered in ***** sprays. These Disney characters are just mixing it up a bit! ;)

    j/k of course. Please don't come put stickers all over my house Disney! Pllleeeeasssee!
  • diskit, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2A bunch of kids in animal outfits?
    It's probably furries.

    Kill it with fire or whatever the meme is.
  • pardonmedoug, on 04/07/2009, -1/+3I don't think it's that nice to look at, and I don't appreciate being marketed to every second my eyes happen to be open.
  • PopcornDave, on 04/07/2009, -1/+3They can't. It's part of the city charter.
  • inactive, on 04/07/2009, -0/+1obvious he can. He's been spamming every front page thread with this.
  • saturninus, on 04/07/2009, -7/+8Disney rules.
  • wassim2k, on 04/08/2009, -0/+1Digg, why do you even allow such posts? I mean, just count the number of http:// or something and limit it to 100.
  • PopcornDave, on 04/07/2009, -1/+2No kidding. You go around SF and you see some graffiti that would make Hooked on Phonics and Sesame Street just cry.

    Granted, there are some neat works of graffiti around SF but when idiots start tagging stuff nobody seems to care. Except for the city crews who, if you don't remove it from your building fast enough, will be kind enough to sort of match the paint color of your building to the closest thing they have in their truck, paint it for you and be happy to send you the bill.
  • itsJALbert, on 04/07/2009, -2/+2I like most of The Hundreds' clothing except for the random Disney collaboration. Also, mildly bizarre that anyone would blame Disney for this rather than TH or just dumb fans. Cosign on the Bill Watterson analogy.

  • jhandfield, on 04/07/2009, -3/+3Psst, I think there's kids on your lawn right now, better go yell at them.
  • reugeneg, on 04/07/2009, -4/+2Uh... Disney owns the copyrights to these characters and you know they APPROVE everything that is done with their *****. Doesn't matter what city it is, this kind of corporate carpet bombing is inexcusable.
  • djruden, on 04/07/2009, -9/+5If it was titled that, I'd have no idea who or what that is and not care about the story.

    With this I actually checked it out. And Disney does have some stake in it because it's their characters image being put everywhere.
  • dlan4327, on 04/07/2009, -10/+6Tinkerbell was such a whiny little bitch. Little hussy nearly got Wendy killed.
