I was also greatly impressed by some of the more intelligent points made by German street artists:
Granted, some criticisms were less clever, but amusing nonetheless:

Thanks to “Skip” and his crew for letting me snap their photo at the Berlin Wall.

I love the juxtaposition of the last two shots. Also, “Skip” and his crew look like they’re about 14.
That second shot is basically a perfect photo. Love the topic of the post, too.
