Spray your tag on West Bank wall -- online

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - It could turn out to be the world's longest graffiti space -- the massive concrete barrier separating Israel from the Palestinians.

Over the Internet, a group of Palestinian graffiti artists is offering to spray-paint your personal message on Israel's towering security wall in the occupied West Bank.

It costs 30 euros ($40) per message and they can be as solemn or wacky as you want. Everything goes, except for obscene, offensive or extremist hate speech. Clients get three digital pictures of the finished product.

....

Organizers stress that revenue does not go to buy weapons for the Palestinians. It is intended to support grassroots social and cultural projects in the West Bank.

Yeah, right...and I have a nice big red bridge to sell y'all in San Francisco. OTOH, I have to give them credit for the creative marketing.

If it wasn't for the fact that the money WILL go to fund terror against Israel, I'd pay the $40 so they'd have to paint this comment on my behalf: "If you stop blowing s**t up, the wall will come down."

Send this to your ping list. I’m sure the people on your list would LOVE to send a message of “hope” to the Palestinians on the other side of the wall.

Amen. I can’t say I feel sorry for them. They made their bed, they can sleep in it and get fleas.

That would make a good tagline but it’s too long.
