Hi Oxbeast,
your post highlights what this thread is about, what is vandalism? It's an emotive and subjective topic, for you the Headington Shark is an anti-war statement; for me a pointless irrelevance that pollutes and vandalises the skyline. Similar disagreements will probably follow from other forum members about the graffiti archaeology project (link supplied above by the boss). I see that as an attempt to document contemporary street art in an archaeological context, others may see it as nothing more than a slideshow of vandalised walls.
