Have you ever been walking down a street and been struck by someone’s hideous attempt at art or design goodness? Certainly one could make the argument that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and less appealing inventions at least have the ability to start a dialog between differing parties. Some self-righteous souls would not welcome this process, as they believe that their opinion is the only one that matters. It is this sense of superior taste has destroyed great creations ranging from Crystal Pepsi, to Ren and Stimpy and the De Lorean DMC-12.
For those who are constantly judging their surroundings, the Visual Enforcement Kit is a dream come true. An offering from the Design Police, this set of downloadable cutouts contain snappy critiques for users to print and plaster all over pieces of excrement they find littering the urban environment. Quips include: “Design Police are operating in this area, Unnecessary use of Photoshop effect, and Microsoft word is not a design tool”. The creators have inserted a disclaimer that encourages responsible use of the kit, but will users behave accordingly. Who cares.
