City Removes Vick-Choking-Puppy Mural From Philly Store

[Liberal_in_LA]

“Die puppies die” painting displayed on city tire shop

*** see mural at link ***


A photo of the mural was first spotted by the700level.com on flickr. The title of the photo was “die puppies die,” a play on the Eagles fight song “Fly Eagles Fly.”

The painting, which clearly approves of Vick’s violent past as long as it helps the Eagles’ future, was displayed on the side of the Kensington shop "Tire 'R' Us" located on York Street, between American and 2nd Thursday.

By Friday morning the city had painted over the mural.

6. This is Ed Zachary why I 'quit' the team

until Reid's gone, Lurie apologizes/sells the team (fat chance), and Vick is discarded...

I took a lot of heat here for saying that I wasn't gonna patronize the Eagles broadcasts, etc., and people jumped all over me in the sense of, "They'll miss you (sarcastically)." WTF has happened to DU???

7. Well, you have my respect.

Even if you're possibly a Flyers fan. :P

[PCIntern]

9. Yeah...

another joke...Snider's been riding on those championships for more than 35 years...

Phillies are GREAT however...

10. You won't hear a crack about the Phillies from me.

I know more about hockey than the other sports. Actually, the whole NHL is a bit of joke.

12. "WTF has happened to DU???"

Entertainment is one of the most important things in the World for the vast majority of Americans.

I know I like to be entertained.

16. Piss off. We aren't all bad.

[MilesColtrane]

17. So you won't be cheering after a Vick completion when he steps in for NcNabb this year?

[ZombieHorde]

11. Football players are role models.

This was to be expected.

13. AWWW!!!!!! Not nice to hurt puppies!!!!

:cry::cry::cry:

[Quantess]

14. That is in extremely poor taste.

[Sgent]

15. I hope

they paint over every illegal mural that quickly.

If not your getting into viewpoint discrimination... which is scary at any level.

18. That sucks

that a city government would stifle artistic expression. Permits to paint a mural on private property? Is this standard in a lot of cities? Or just born of the gang hysteria of the 80s and 90s?
