I called the Bureau of General Inquiry at the number on the flyer and spoke with a representative. I asked a few questions and got only a few answers. They want to know, not tell. Found in Long Island City.
Art and advertising, from political protest to lost cats, collide on the streets of NYC in the form of flyers, wild posting and whatever else can be stuck to a lamp post or phone kiosk.

I think Non Grata is a performance art group. This image looks like a snapshot from Burning Man.
Wishing I Could Cry video is essentially a music video made with historical photos of the Holocaust mixed with seemingly random words from texts.
This anti-war documentary is narrated by Sean Penn. I can't think of anyone more annoying for the part. He was great for "Dogtown and Z-Boys" but that was non-political. Even the little bit that he was in "When The Levees Broke" was beyond irritating.
I suck Sarah Marshall? What part in particular? I think what they mean is "You suck, Sarah Marshall." A comma is a small thing, but it makes a difference.
I found this taped to a lamppost at the intersection of 5th & 23rd. It reads,
It looks like Leviticus is looking for space to create more substantial work. But if you're going to put your picture on the flyer, pick one where you don't look like a wanted terrorist.
This image sums up the contest: Hillary Clinton, the slick product of the well-oiled Democratic machine, is being challenged by the grass roots efforts of Barack Obama and his supporters. And then there's Ron Paul on the fringes. Now that he's dropped out of the race, he's on the sidelines.
These two posters make a good point. Obama was willing to take an unpopular stand for what he thought was right while Hillary made a safe political bet, figuring that it would be easier to talk her way out her support for the war should it fail than hava to explain why she didn't support it if it was successful.
Samantha Power, the former foreign policy advisor to Obama was right. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a monster who is stooping to anything to win the Democratic nomination.
Of all of the statements on this poster, the one that is so left wing is "No Police I.C.E. Terror." I.C.E. stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Only a super leftie would think that enforcing the laws that govern our borders is terror. Imagine their outrage that women have to stop at traffic lights. No justicia! No paz!
It's all a matter of perspective. While the right sees Hillary Clinton as a commie, the real commies don't think she's red enough. The commies are seeing this most clearly. Neither Clinton or Obama are going to start a revolution. What they can't see at all is that communism will never work.
