VALENTINE'S, GIRLS, WHORES - A DICKISH INJUSTICE

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –


Thoughts of Valentine's Day often lead to thoughts of girls, and lately girl thoughts have lead to thinking about Lena Dunham's HBO show, Girls. Last year Lena took some time to talk with Conan O'Brien about poster defacement, Girls, and, whores. Poster defacements are rarely very sweet, but sometimes they're not only rude but inaccurate as Ms. Dunham explains -

Conan - This is a picture a friend of yours took … oh yeah, whore number three, that's nice.
Lena - I was actually kind of offended because, why am I whore number three? … I'm always putting myself on the line and I'm whore number three, why could I of not been whore number one or even two?
Conan - That's your big complaint - if you work hard, someday, you'll be whore number one.
Lena - I'm trying.

Take a look at the whole clip at Conan's site courtesy of team Coco. In addition to a message of hope for the whore in all of us it's got some good basic info on unique poster defacement opportunities in good natured easy-going New York City.

So even if this Valentine's Day is not filling you with sweet thoughts, and even if you feel you are being passed over in competitions for attention, keep at it friends, Conan is right, it is possible for all of us to someday be whore number one.

HAPPY (DICK-ISH) VALENTINE'S DAY

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 

Valentine's messages are not a common defacement on advertising posters, and even more rarely are they of a dick-ish sort. So when New York Dick wishes to present a holiday specific defacement on the day that symbolizes love it can be difficult to find an appropriate candidate.

But NYD is not solely about modifications that are anatomically "dick" based, a "dick" comment can qualify, especially if that rude and insensitive comment is phallas &/or semen related, then nasty cupid shoots his spoolgy and mean spirited arrow straight at our heart. 

Mr. and Ms. Spunk-crossed-love both look a little vapid and a little enraptured, both are marked with a black heart where the mind's eye should be, and both are suffering from some very smutty remarks. The scrawls of our nasty cupid have united these soulless soul mates.

NYD hopes we all have a more beautiful and sublime Valentine's Day than the one that awaits our lovely poster couple. But if the comments of our dick-ish cupid sound like the kind of amor that you're looking for, then by all means enjoy. And maybe scrawl a verbal and visual run down of the party on a subway poster for our pleasure too, New York Dick is always interested in the dicky details.
