This is huge! (pun not intended ;)
Very, very inspiring. Great work.
Well done Ron. The only obligation of the "Artist" is to provoke...If not, one is simply masterbating with art supplies. Fine fucking work!
To "Chris" I say: Thank you for supporting Ron's message by having the courage to show the rest of us what could happen to our minds if we fail to challenge the Corporate Paradigm. You are an inspiration.
To me he is no better than any other person defacing property which they dont own!
Yes he is a good artists and some of his posters I agree with but when you attack companies like Warner Bros or Disney I ask why? They have given alot to the world like the hundreds of films bringing to life fairy tales. And another generic attack on Mac Donalds they are only big because they are good at what they do like Coke another big company.
Yes junk food is bad for you but the people who eat it know and dont care I eat it I know the risks like I know the risk when barreling down a muddy rocky hill side aiming for a small wooden bridge crossing the river! Life is to short to not enjoy all things in life corperate or indipendant. Stop worrying about the health of other people who smoke, Drink and scarf unhealth food its their fucking life like they want you moaning in the background about how the EVIL COPERATIONS are destroying the world and free speach.
Yes we have to defend free speach but not when we dont need to this whole thing is pointless.
In other words viva la Mac Donalds give me my Big Mac and bring back super size I want to eat not snack!

You might find the above symbols useful, just cut and paste.
There's nothing like undermining an already ill-informed, simplistic message by presenting it in an utterly inept fashion.
Obviously, you don't care. I find nothing wrong with what he's doing. He's expressing his opinion on billboards. This is basic urban graf. I can understand how you don't get it. I can also understand the fact that you want to eat you big mac and consume whatever you want. In some parts of the art world Ron English is respected for what he does. I hate billboards and commercials broadcasted through various types of media. I think English is funny, he's not destroying the free world, but whoever wrote this is.
great!
big posters...
