Some people think graffiti turns a routine commute into an ever-evolving art adventure. Others think the disrespectful cretins shouldn't litter the city with their masturbatory scribbles. But most can agree that buffed-over street art leaves walls looking shitty.

Could businesses type over their own buffs as a cheaper, easier way than hiring muralists to discourage the crummy taggers? Or must everything be overrun with blue dogs?
