This Weekend in Street Art: Enjoy

If all the rain didn't keep you indoors this weekend, you may have spotted these photos of landscapes and food from “enjoy” pasted up around town.  Now, I'm supportive of this particular brand of street art because any reminder that there's a sun and are other dietary options available to me beyond Mexican fast food and plain veggie burgers is appreciated.

But even though mouthwatering photos of watermelons are nice and all, I couldn't help but notice a bunch of these food photos were posted around areas that homeless people sleep.  Is this some sort of cruel joke? Just a big “sorry y'all, I'm not going to give you any food, but here's a picture to hold you over” middle finger to the people who sleep on the steps of the Polish Club?  Or is it innocent enough because, well, only pretentious assholes read into simple art this much?

This is so awesome. Finally, a passive aggressive revenge plan for not being able to ignore homeless when they ask for change outside of bars. Fuckers! Now don’t get me wrong. I have some moderate sympathy for their situation. However, when I’m spending money at a bar, enjoying a conversation, the LAST thing I want is a dude asking me for the change in my pocket. For one, I need that money to pay for the meters tomorrow when I’m hung over. Secondly, I have my own motives & the last thing on my mind is helping society. I’m looking to pathetically satisfy the most basic human needs.
