KONY Sighting

It looks like someone heard the Kony message and wanted to spread the word this weekend. However, they didn't display the suggested poster. Instead, they took the term "paint the town Kony" a little too literal. A beloved Minneapolis landmark was vandalized in the process.

The well known Spoonbridge and Cherry at the Walker Art Center was the target.


I've never agreed with the people who decide to protest, or spread their message, by being disrespectful. It would be one thing to put a poster on the spoon, but spray paint? I am guessing it probably wasn't someone who was fully behind the Kony initiative. It was probably some kid who thought it would be funny. All and all, it is now going to cost someone money to have it removed. 

I hope they have the color "spoonbridge" in the basement.

  1. FAIL! That is utterly infantile. No, I take that back; actually, it's anarchistic, disrespectful, and nihilistic. At least that way, it is a product of cunning strategizing and bold initiative rather than just plain ol' stupid.
