New York City is chock-full of free moving billboards.

In NYC, delivery trucks—and everything else outdoors—quickly develop a disgusting, uniform layer of soot/scum/scuz on them. It's evidence of the atmospheric cocktail we breathe every day! And it happens to make a perfect guerrilla medium for free temporary messages. Mostly you see stupid obscenities on the truck panels/doors. But entrepreneurs with URLs and old gloves/chalk are starting to take advantage of what would otherwise be an expensive media buy. Like the guys at playstickball.com—mookish dudes who unfortunately take their stickball a mite too seriously. Too seriously for mighty mayor Mike Bloomberg, that's for sure. (thanks to Aurora Diaz for the iPhone snap, near Union Square)

"a might too seriously" =? "a mite too seriously"
thanks anon proofreader.
I lived in NYC for 13 years, and EVERYTHING in our apt had this weird greasy film on it. I moved half a year ago, to CT, and I still occasionally come across something I have to clean that gunk off of.
Nice blog, BTW.
