I remember this and I didn't like it the first time I saw it, either!
Only scumbags scribble on walls.
I don't think it's actual graffiti, more likely a mural. It looks like an intentional piece of artwork to me, in the graffiti style. I think most graffiti artists wouldn't go to so much trouble to make it look this good or incorporate the bench in the work. I don't like much graffiti but I like this.
Ah...! When does malicious graffiti become graffiti art? In the eye of the beholder? Would make a fun dinner debate with a few bottles of good wine.
@J Bar: It is graffiti, actually it WAS graffiti as it has already been removed. Now the question is: for how long will the wall stay clean?!...
This is an interesting one. I still don't like it, but it is clever, and as someone said, the graffiti artists are becoming so talented, it's too bad they don't put their art somewhere else - such as non-public property.
I don't like it either but have to admit that the way it continues on the bench is a novelty.
JM, I'm surprised that's the case. I wouldn't mind it too much, as long as there wasn't any offensive or divisive message there.

@J Bar: Well, I have no idea what's written there, but it has been washed so quickly that makes me wonder why...
