Hummer Street Art Gets Defaced

<hummer_defaced.gif

Earlier this month we pointed out some Tats Cru, Inc. street art that GM commissioned to promote its new Hummer H3, the small man’s hummer. Predictably, the art has been defaced as noted by flicker user Irena Tejaratchi who took this image including the phrases, “sell out, “no blood for oil,” “sham” and “dummer.” While GM might not like their brand defaced, they knew what they were getting into and they most likely figured they’d get a bunch of press, too, which they have.
