H & M steals sign design

Clothing retailer H&M is selling stuff with an image that was stolen from Torey LaConsay

corporations are not people.

from the artists website:

H&M UK have purloined another artist's work. MINE! On the left, you'll see a sign I painted as a love letter to my neighbors in the East Atlanta Village. On the right, you will see a floormat and pillowcase featuring a design with an uncanny resemblance. In H&M's response, they claim that they can assure us that "this particular design has not been influenced by your friends work and that no copyright has been infringed." I beg to differ, H&M.

San Francisco Bank of America ATMs converted into truth machines

Rainforest Action Network activists took to the streets of San Francisco and turned every single one of Bank of America's Automated Teller Machines in the city into Automated Truth Machines. Using special non-adhesive stickers that were designed to look exactly like BoA's ATM interface, the activists gave the bank's customers a menu of what their money is being used for, including investment in coal-fired power plants, foreclosure on America's homes, bankrolling climate change, and paying out fat executive bonuses.

Seattle Burger King Billboard Gets Diabetes Graffiti

Someone has graffitied this Burger King billboard in downtown Seattle to transform it into criticism about how sugary fast food contributes to diabetes and the obesity crisis.

The original billboard does that classic advertising trick of getting away with making a joke while still promoting an idea that's not so great for you, which is to eat more deserts at Burger King.

The billboard shows an ice cream cone, a parfait, a milkshake and then a Burger King logo. Underneath the items in progression it says "side," "entree," and "drink." To modify it into a commentary, on the logo, the vandalizer drink a bloated person with a frowny face and x-ed out eyes. Below it they scrawled, "diabetes."
