When urban vandalism becomes clever and cool ...

Potholes on the streets, light poles leaning or that have fallen down, entire neighborhoods without an iota of vitality ...

Often waiting for some intervention from city authorities to eliminate or improve these unsightly and unpleasant conditions is almost hopeless, but fortunately, there is vandalism.

No, not the kind of vandalism that destroys or defaces property, but the kind that brings a touch of originality and gives some sense to something that would otherwise remain anonymous, ignored, or abandoned.

Here are twenty-five examples that will make you smile or exclaim "pretty cool!" or maybe even "pure genius"!

The French advertising says "sauvage" (wild), but just change a letter and you get the English word "sausage"' ...
