If anything could anger descent, law abiding citizens it’s this story. You may want to just boycott Aaron Brothers over this callus, and just plan stupid promotion!! A Los Angeles councilman is denouncing a “Graffiti Starter Kit” being distributed by a major art store chain, saying it promotes vandalism. According to the office of Councilman Dennis Zine, Aaron Brothers is advertising and distributing the kit, which includes paints and markers, as part of its “Artrageous” promotion. Zine wants the store to stop passing out the kits or to post a message for consumers about the “ramifications and penalties of graffiti vandalism.”

“This promotion is an assault on our community and sends a devastating message to our youth. It is unfortunate that Aaron Brothers is not attuned to the impact their actions may have on encouraging vandalism,” Zine said in a statement.

The campaign, dubbed by the art-retailer Aaron Brothers as "Artrageous," is hosting free events and giving out free "graffiti starter kits" to participants.

Just use the kits were to “beautify” all the Aaron Brothers stores. Seems only fair.
