Graffiti

Peter Vallone Jr. Gets Clowned By Stephen Colbert On Graffiti

We don’t know how we missed this one being big fans of Colbert and even bigger enemies of Vallone, but just this week, the graffiti-hating politician—who can’t get press without mentioning the outlaw art form—made a special guest appearance on the show to discuss how tags are ruining the world. Although the politician was hoping to push his anti-graffiti cause, the witty folks over the ‘Report’ highlighted the case of Natalie Shea, the 6-year-old from Brooklyn who’s parents were issued a $300 fine for the kid’s chalk drawings on her own front stoop as part of the city’s zealous crackdown last year, which lead to a public outcry over the heavy handed offensive. And even though Vallone was given a chance to spew his mindless ramblings about how graffiti is a “gateway crime” towards the very end of the segment, his foolishness had already been clearly tagged. Well done Mr. Cobert!
