now a days even the ignorant mediocre masses claim they hate tv, then they turn on american idol. They channel surf into the sharks mouth, And they unknowingly solidify their purposeless life. I haven't watched tv in over 6 years. Movies are alright, but music is just so much better in every way, and there is so much of it, that it can be your primary source of entertainment easily. people just forget this because media tells them to.

greenfrogneck (65 months ago | reply)
well i think thier can be many thought of why he tossed out the tv. look out side the box
samm.r [deleted] (65 months ago | reply)
did u know that stencil is also about the broken window theory.
" Crime is the inevitable result of disorder and that if a window in a building is smashed but not repaired people walking by will think no-one cares. Then more windows will be broken, graffiti and rubbish get dumped. the likelihood of serious crime being committed then increases dramatically as neglect becomes visible"

More TV less ugly graffiti can't find time to do both
however Banksy is one of the more talented vandels I know of.
Bet he's got a telly tucked away somewhere.
I know i have.

Thank you to have let flickr use your photo for the tag explanation :)

This is wonderful. In my mind, it's a dream come true. I have to agree with smeared, there are other forms of entertainment besides tv. I'd rather listen t the radio, play on the computer, go for a walk, or read a book (insert an astonished gasp here) then watch dumb ol' tv.

when beautiful "music" bounces off a satellite then outputs thru tv ... what then tv nags??
stencil art rocks!!
tv's also a great tool for zoning out and letting your mind work out the details on all those subconscious projects you've been meaning to get to.

"she said she said
'you don`t know shit

she turned upon him
took him by the hair
spun him round about,
laughing as he fell about
sat down for a drink
in her father's favourite chair
kill

just to be nosy - what are the various machine tags actually used for? - I understand the geo tagging ones, but the cell ones??
m1l35 (64 months ago | reply)
I took this picture on my cell phone and uploaded it to flickr using Merkitys. The cellular phone mast id is added to the pictures. I also leave bluetooth on (only when I take the pictures) and some of the tags pick up if there are any other devices nearby when I took the shot. There weren't but if there were you would be able to browse those pictures as well.
